Then there is the people on FB Messenger who use my Birthday wish to them as an invitation to ask me to watch a video about whatever program they happen to just have joined. That kind of stuff annoys me like crazy.
Selling is a skill and can be done without aggravating people.
We learned something about blocking sales calls for my Dad the other day.
He was using his answering machine because he is over 90. Setting up his voicemail on his spectrum account was nothing he wanted to deal with. So Saturday starting from like mid morning till we finally set up his voicemail and turned off his answering machine he got like 20 calls in a row telling him there was a fraudulent purchase on his Amazon account and to press 1 for this or 2 for that.
What we learned is that if an answering machine picks up they sense it as a person answering the phone and will keep calling
If you use voicemail you can set it up so they don't even get through.
Bam!
It works.

Yeah, I get those too Lisa. But what we don't want to do is indict those that engage properly and build know, like, and trust. We can't let the bad apples spoil the bunch. And when done correctly, there are tons of magic moments where everyone feels good about the process. Proper "selling" if you will, is an art. People don't stop driving when they see a bad driver, right? They just say, "What a bad driver!" lol :) Terrible how people prey on the elderly. Shameful! Kudos for protecting him.
Thanks, Rob! That is why we moved in with him. So that he could stay here in the house that he put 60+ years of his life into and be safe. Sorry for the rant. That stuff is a definite trigger for me. You are right. Selling can be done in away that is not slimy. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. 😀
