Today I got a telemarketing call from my bank in regards to some kind of credit check service for my credit card. While obviously they were trying to sell me a product, the interesting thing was after the person finished their pitch the only thing they said was that all they needed now was consent so that they can activate the service.<\/p>\n
Essentially,the person didn’t even tell me about the cost or anything. Of course I asked about it and it seemed like it was a $20 a year service. It makes me wonder how many people actually sit there and say yes to these types of pitches as I would assume it’s one of those scenarios where it must be working for them to do it. Most people probably assume it is a free service huh?<\/p>\n
Then again, maybe they did mention the fee but was simply rapid talking it so fast that it kind of bypassed me. Almost like writing a tiny fine print in a service agreement. Whenever people talk so super fast in telemarketing calls like these it stereotypically makes me think they are trying to sell something so it already puts me in a state of mind to not accept it. I would be inclined to say just advertising the service on say their online sites wold be more effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
