New Marketing Trick from Credit Card Companies
Thursday, June 24, 2010
I’ve received at least two phone calls a week from credit card telemarketers, and from what I observed, here’s a new trend of how they do things:
Telemarketer: Selamat siang, dengan Bapak Bellamy BeneDITO Budiman? (Yes, they never got my name right)
Me: Ini dari mana ya?
Telemarketer: Saya XXX dari bank XXX.
Me: Ada apa ya?
Telemarketer: Apa betul Bapak mengajukan aplikasi kartu kredit ke kami?
Me: Ngga tuh.
Telemarketer: Tapi data-data Bapak sudah lengkap, apa mau saya bantu proses?
Me: Ngga.
Telemarketer: Sayang nih, Pak, datanya sudah lengkap.
Me: Fuck you and everyone who works there. NGGA! *hangs up*
And, yes, that’s just about it, around twice a week.
