Unwanted Calls – The worst offenders

November 26, 2009

It has been said that the average consumer receives on average 21 unwanted calls a month. The worst offenders for this tend to be organisations such as debt collection agencies, mobile phone companies and charities. Other offenders include companies that use automatic dialers and agents who do not let the phone ring for long enough before hanging up.

There are steps you can take to try and make sure you don’t fall into these categories. Nobody is saying don’t call if you are a charity or don’t use auto dialers but do make sure you employ enough agents to manage the workload. Make sure you telemarketers or other staff are properly trained and not hanging up the phone after 3 rings just to increase their call rate.

It’s tough in the industry at the moment and let’s make sure we do the job properly!
