So why is this?  Why does the word TeleMarketer conjure up visions of anger and resentment?  These people are just doing a job, it's that simple.  But, the bottom line is, most Telemarketers bend and break the rules of engagement.  So why is it the Telemarketers phone me in the evening during dinner, family time or when I'm relaxing?  The answer, why would they waste their time phoning you when you are not there during the day?  Most decision makers are home in the evening, so this is the "prime time" when to try and get their pitch across.

Now, I'll bet you're thinking that if you just answer the phone and say immediately "I'm not interested" or "Take me off of your list" that you'll be in good shape and rid of that Telemarketer.  I wish that were true, but unfortunately, it just doesn't work like that, because Telemarketing agencies often deal with or provide services for multiple corporations and if you do not properly deal with the nuisance call, collect the appropriate information for an audit trail and ask to be removed off of each and every list from each and every company they represent, you will accomplish nothing.
