The Telemarketers story
the sad but true life of a telemarketer
So I can say that I can relate to Willy Loman.  I have tried the life of telemarketing.  A form of sales that I would never wish to try again.  I have experienced getting rejected day after day and dreading going back.  It was my first job.  I came bright eyed and bushy tailed.  I couldn't turn the job down because at the age of fifteen they were offering ten dollars an hour.  How could one refuse?  I also didn't know what I was getting into.  People would scream at you, personally attacked you.  People swore and were very cruel.  I was not one of the pushy telemarketers, and I really wasn't all that good.  I would only continue if they sounded interested and wanted to hear more.  We were a window washing service, and we also cleaned gutters and siding.  We had outragous prices and it was hard to sell to those that lived in a house.  I had to drink lots of coffee to continue to be nice and perky.  Its way harder than it looks and eventually when I couldn't take it anymore... I QUIT!
