RING, RING, CA-CHING is an ebook about telemarketing. Sales pitches are like beans. Better fresh than canned and the palette’s reception depends on the preparation. Millions of people everyday use the telephone to make requests of every conceivable kind from strangers they’ve never met seeking compensation for everything under the alphabet. Memorized pitches for stereotyped individuals created by MBA marketing types are purported to be the open sesame to wealth. I wouldn’t know one of these stereotypes if he was walking down the street with a sign around his neck. We are not peas in a pod. Like snowflakes, no two of us are alike. Through conversation, we get to know someone and properly done, they will tell you how they can be sold. That’s what this piece tells you about; How to listen, pick up cues and do your business.
