What gets my goat!!!! - What gets your goat???
Door-to-door insurance salesmen. Can't they take a bleedin' hint? :evil:
I've had the same guy come around every year trying to sell me the same policy. He came yesterday but I was 'away' and 'busy' then. :wink: I was too, I was on the mighty .org so he was asked to try again another time. He was back tonight, caught me off guard this time. I was in the bike shed and he spotted the door open. Aaaargh!!!! Tools down then. We sat in the living room and locked horns. Him determined to sell it, me determined to keep my money in my pocket. All the excuses came out. "Ahh Mr. MacLeod you have a similar policy with our rival. Well, I'd really suggest you reconsider. A lot of people we've spoken to have swapped to ours, so dis-satisfied with that company.....blah, blah.....We guarantee payout without a medical, they don't. I've heard some heart-breaking stories...." "Well, do you have a leaflet I can browse and compare when I'm less busy?" "Sure I'll check the car.....Oh sorry, I must have sold 30 new policies today. There are none left." "Well, I'm not about to sign up without studying it. Maybe next year I'll swap." "Oh, I'd hate to come back next year to find you have cancer or heart attack and not get a payout from them. I'm thinking of your interests here..." "Like I said, I wan't to see it first. Goodbye now." "Well, I hope you're in good health when I see you next year then Mr MacLeod." :evil: :smt098 |
Hmmm people who ask me what I am, loudly in public. Kinda rude dontcha think?
Apart from that I am happy as a hindu cow, must be the meds... |

Door to door "energy sales" and fascias! Parents swearing and screaming at their out of control kids. Parents who smoke around babies. People who just cant make a decision or do something without being told To name a few. |
Asking people to do something, then telling them to do the same thing again when it wasn't done correctly the first time.... :evil:

It was two perverts from Carmarthen that got my goat.
(believe it or not, I originally heard that joke told by a vicar) |
Goat Thieves.

Did someone mention Goatse?
:lol: |
Currently, it's the guy at my work who tells people to do something knowing full well that it'll require doublechecking by him, then complains when they bring him the work for checking. Really very glad I don't have to listen to him...

what gets my goat is :-
computer generated sales calls bad drivers happy people first thing in the morning :x :x |
Why are you folks so against sales?
Telesales is a VERY effective way for a company to generate sales leads for its BDMs. Having worked in sales for the majority of my working life (which isnt that long, but still a good time), i wont hear a bad work uttereed about sales staff. Id love to hear your reasons/justification for this "hatred". :? |

The reason I hate telesales firstly it is an unsolicited phone call taking me away from whatever I was doing. If I was intrested in the product I would have contacted them. I do not want to speak to some poorly paid call centre worker following a script.
|
people that say what instead of pardon... :evil:
|
Sunday drivers just as you get to the twisty bit :evil:

1) to increase awareness of any given product within the market place. You will be surprised about the number of people out there who before receiving a telesales call didnt know about that product. This is true in both B2C and B2B environments. 2) to increase the sales of that product. Telesales is a proven and ever increasing method of uping your sales figures. More and more companies are increasing their use of the telephone as the quickest and most convenient way of establishing customer contacts. Organisations recognise that telesales and telemarketing are a key part of their sales strategy. I agree that there is nothing worse in receiving a poorly trained, hard sales, telemarketing call. I had one the other night from an Indian lady on behalf of Bulldog Broadband. The second i answered she launched into a poorly rehersed hard sell script. I had to shout her down to get her to listen to me. Telesalers like that will be costing business vast quantities of business. However, if you get a professional, well trained sales agent who knows his/her stuff - it can make all the difference. |
The waiter after a nice meal in a posh restuarant..................... sorry I thought you said coat. :oops:
|
Sales or sales people frustrate me.
I either want something or I don't! I won't have someone making the choice for me. The other thing is Sales people are only really driven by commision on what they sell. So they're not really interested in you or helping you. They're only really interested in making money from you. A good salesman in my opinion makes the product sell itself. |

The closest you can get is a product or service that is a "no-brainer". The Benefits of having that product/service is so obvious, it doesnt need someone to sell it hard. But it still needs sales and marketing people to take it to market and get it noticed by the target audience against all the other competition. |
People that use i instead of I
Make yourself important, people! :wink: (Not a slur on anyone here, just seems the English language these days has taken a turn for the worst.) Stewboy, easy fella!! How come people that don't answer their mobile, gets your goat? Mobiles are great, but if someone doesn't want to answer it, they don't want to be disturbed! Goes for land-lines as well... |

Black cabs chosen for their ability to do U-Turns. Normaly in front of bikers as the cabbies must be charged more for using their mirrors.
