Yo,

So i am a telemarketer for the biggest newspaper in my country.

We sell additional magazines for our current customers. I make 20 USD for each magazine I sell, the subscription pack is 1 year - but the customer can cancel at ANY time, and i will get paid.

Obviously, some of my calls get monitored, not all of them though. So i am able to make quite a bit of money if I play my cards right. The only thing that is bad for me is if the customer resigns before 14 days (right of withdrawal), which will fuck up my stats.


How should i word myself on the phone to get most people to buy?
Prices for the customer: 5 USD each month (1 magazine), so total 60 USD for a year.
I'm not here for ethics, but tips for selling more. I call people ranging from ages 25-99. Some lists targets younger people, and some 65+ people.
If you need additional information, just comment.

We are having a short team brief/meeting every morning 5-25 minutes. We were even watching a random motivational video on YT last week, was cringe as hell. We get an updated template each day, and it says "Yesterdays best seller". The boss are hinting that the worst performers will get kicked if they continue to suck lol. Out of 25, I'm actually mostly top 3, and easily top 5 each day.

Use pity if they sound like they aren’t interested.

>”Sorry, I am not interested.”
>Sir/Ma’am if I don’t meet my quota I am going to loose my house. I have a wife and kids, I am trying my best here. Please if you just subscribe for a couple months and cancel I’ll be able to make my mortgage payment. If you don’t subscribe...i could loose everything...the house, my wife, the kids... I don’t know what I’d do with myself. I wouldn’t be able to go on without them...I might do something stupid like get my shotgun and....

LOL wtf, so you suggest me doing this every call? Sounds like a good way to get fired + literally get PTSD aswell.

I used to sell magazines and other worthless shit when I was younger. I got to be the youngest manager in the whole company when I was only 17yo due to being great salesman and hustler.

I had the biggest cancel rate, but my supervisors didn't care since I sold more than the others (10-15 people) combined.

Listen, here comes "the secret". Don't take no for an answer. Just don't accept it, don't hear it, don't care about it. When you get ready for your next victim, don't think you are selling anything. Think of it more as of confirming their contacts etc. whatever you need from them to mark it as a sale and send the magazine + invoice them. With older people I sometimes really didn't give a fuck what they say and just got them to tell me their address and just sent them the fucking magazine even after repeated no's from them. Some of them cancel, many didn't. Was it ethical? No. Was it fun? Well not really, owning at anything is fun though. But who the fuck cares, you do what you have to to survive and find success in life.

Currently I'm owner of 2 very successful marketing related companies, keep selling those papers and some day you will find success too.

You know 80% of the time if someone is going to buy or not within the first 60s of the call. Some people eventually literally get brainwashed into buying it though. Sometimes, it even surprises me.


>>12412837
Holy shit, would love to hear more from you. One in our team does this "confirm detail thing", and say they are getting a "saving", which means that they save on magazine. But he literally tells them the newspaper will get cheaper (which is straight up a lie).

I don't think my boss can see the cancel rate after 14 days for us lol. So if they cancel after 2 months, its ok for me.

I feel like the "confirm details" scam is hard on people under the age of 67. He bascially scam everyone over the age of 75 with a 85% success rate. Sometimes even goes as far as saying that "you have no choice, this is now included with the newspaper - I'm calling just to give you a message". lmaooo

Won't the boss tell you to stop when you just send the magazine to old people? <- Because they don't accept the offer.

How many sales was a lot in your job? Did you earn over 10.000 USD a month?

You're lower iq than the person on the other end of the phone. Do you understand that? According to your scenario you are actually the one who would get outplayed/outsmarted by the telemarketer.
