I am so glad that they have not attacked the cell phones like everyone predicted because I already get 40- 50 real estate calls per day! I did though call the Do not call list for my cell...its working!

Telemarketing is marketing conducted over the telephone. Most telemarketing calls are "cold calls," meaning the recipient of the call has not requested that the telemarketer contact them. Telemarketing is one of the most controversial types of marketing.

The purpose of telemarketing is to make a sale. Sometimes telemarketers have personal information when they call a customer, knowing the person has purchased products similar or related to theirs from other vendors or outlets.

Some older practices of telemarketing inadvertently caused fear. One common type of automated telemarketing program would dial numbers to check for answering machines in order to leave a pre-recorded sales pitch. If a person answered, the program detected a real voice and hung up. Many people were frightened by the unexplained hang-ups, some fearing they were being stalked. It is now illegal for a telemarketer to leave an automated sales pitch on an answering machine.

This hasn't prevented telemarketing hang-ups, however. Autodialers call numbers to identify those that are disconnected or out of order and those answered by fax machine, answering machine, or person. If your home phone gets excessive hang-ups, telemarketers may be the reason. Some organizations are fighting to make this practice illegal, claiming it amounts to harassment.

It is a means to an end. If you can follow a script and handle rejection with grace, you should do well.


For anyone that attempts to make a cold call; stay focused, smile when you dial and remember one word if they hang up on you..."next".

This service PUSH SMS is a part of telemarketing? Or is something different? I know that when you make sales at the phone you speak about telemarketing, but if you send messages and after that you make sales at the phone ( they call you ) it is the same concept?
