some guy named alex was trying to get me to listen to the wave fm 94.7 here in los angeles. He was friendly, and finished his pitch in 30 seconds. next!
Radio station "The Wave" - 94.7 promotion, just calling people to let them know they are giving away $1000 to listeners who stay tuned in and phone in when prompted. Nothing tricky, no requests for any personal info and no marketing or sales pitch given. Guess they need listeners and hope that people will tune in for a few hours to try and cash in. Be like having hold music in the background so I suppose there could be worse things to have on while you work....
There is nothing great about being cold-called by a telemarketer. Selling toilet paper, shilling for listeners. A sales call - is a sales call, and they're not suppose to do it.
