Cold Calling For Sales On Recorded Lines

Published June 20, 2018

People that know me, know that I am a horrible salesman, so this is a disclaimer to this blog post before you listen to any sales advice from me.

In the past couple months or so, I had two sales people cold call me and told me that I am on a recorded line.  Forget the fact that no one likes cold calls and a lot of people do not like unsolicited sales, they actually were recording the call.

Yea, I get they want to record the call for (1) quality assurance and (2) legal reasons but no - I do not want to be recorded, especially if you cold called me.

I told the person that called last time that I was about to listen to their sales pitch but since they are recording the call, I will not proceed.  

In fact, I think there should be a way for these people to press a button to stop the recording, if requested.  The past two people that told me they were recording the call had no way to stop the recording upon request.

So maybe a sales tip: Do not record the call and if you do, maybe be in a state that doesn't require you to declare you are doing so?
