Hi Jami,
It was great talking to you today . I strongly belive we would be the right choice of your business.Kindly respond to the e-mail .With your requirments.
Don't blame staff as a whole until you have interacted with each one of them. I am a developer working hard here and have no idea what so ever how business is dealt here. All I have done here is worked on many challenging VC++ & .NET.
As with any aggressive and illicit overseas telemarketers, reporting them to the FTC will do nothing. They are from another nation where the US has no jurisdiction.
As a receptionist, I've clocked hundreds of calls from overseas telemarketing companies. Photon Infotech is one such caller, one that wasn't calling me anymore by the time I left my previous workplace.
I made a habit of writing down exactly which ones called me, with a list of tally marks next to each, representing every time I asked them to stop calling. Once the count reached five, I switched tactics. I no longer tried to get them off my line. I wanted to hear them talk for as long as I could.
Time is money. They need to make a certain number of calls a day to match their quotas, and they lose very little if they call you for 20 seconds to hear you say you aren't interested. Instead, keep them talking to you for as long as possible. Ask them about their service. Ask them for details. Pretend to be interested. Give them no information about yourself, but ask for every bit of information on their company.
Once you run out of things to ask about and you've clocked them on for about 10-15 minutes, very candidly tell them that you were never really interested to begin with and that you only wished to waste their time. They will probably become very upset. Laugh at them. Enjoy your schadenfreude. Realizing you are clogging up their call reel, they will eventually remove you if you repeat this tactic a few times... especially if you're getting the same caller.
This works for nearly every overseas telemarketer. It costs you some time, but if you're a receptionist with nothing better to do, it will pay off in the long run. Within a month, this will quiet your phone significantly. It's a whole lot of fun too, if you do it right.
PS: Chandra from Photon, your voice was very soothing. I liked the way you said "Photon", especially your angry voice, when I asked if it was spelled with an F.
Annoying calls every single day at my place of work. Callers are always Indian possibly from India. Poor English. I told them please email if it is important, but this is not in there plan. Must talk to person at company. I have word for my company for 11 years and no a scam when I hear one.
