Me as Telemarketer

"Oh please, find another job that pays about the same. Most telemarketer jobs are minimum wage or a bit more. About what you get at McDonald's." this my FB's friend told me after im asking him about the telemarketing job....but i've try already..and so far so good...

"I have done telemarketing before. It is a thankless job, from both ends. The costumers want off the phone and the management want you to hassle the costumers. And they push rather than thank." this is another thought shared by other friend....hermmmm...



Telemarketing is both easy and difficult. It is easy in that you have a script to read most times so you don't really have to think about what to say. The difficult part is that most times there is a base pay and a commission and that commission is usually tied to either an hourly or daily quota which is VERY HARD to get since most people usually hang up on telemarketers before they have the chance to finish their first sentence. If you read the newspaper you will always see postings for telemarketers and it's not because it's a booming field, it's because they have a VERY HIGH TURNOVER rate (read: lots of people are fired because they don't meet their quotas). If you happen to be luck and/or gifted and succeed in the field there can be some very good money in it. I'm agree with this....
