We all go through life dealing with our struggles, completely unaware of what the person beside us is going through. Many a time we take out our frustrations on those who disrupt even a second of our ‘precious’ time. You know the saying “save the drama for your mama”, well these days the drama seems to be unloaded on telemarketing reps and we Dubai folks are very much guilty of the same.<\/p>\n
Getting those back-to-back sales calls, the scripted oration, the unwillingness to conclude the conversation without the promise of a sale… it definitely gets infuriating, especially if you’re on a time crunch, however, that shouldn’t dictate the tone in which we speak to the reps.<\/p>\n
Imagine spending nine hours a day calling and attempting to converse with strangers just to bag that ONE sale. Telemarketers are given intense targets, deadlines, repetitive work, tight supervision and monitoring. On top of work pressure, telemarketers have to put up with uninterested or downright hostile customers over the phone literally from the first word the telemarketer utters.<\/p>\n
Apart from having the skill to deal with disrespectful customers, these reps have to work hard to develop a thick skin to prevent the stress, and anxiety due to pressure from their employers and customers getting to them. The industry is such where in the target-based environment, these reps are forced to sell people things they don’t want, it’s not out of choice, it’s out of duty.<\/p>\n
Disrespecting agents just doing their job isn’t a gain for you nor the agent on the other side of the call.<\/p>\n
DED shared a video with details on the simple steps you can take to report such sales calls.<\/p>\n
