And the longer you tie them up when they do start talking, the less valuable they'll find this annoying technology.
One of the funniest stories I heard (from a frind that's on this list) is about receiving 2 sales calls on 2 lines around the same time. He connected the 2nd telemarketer to the first caller that he previously placed on hold and then said, "ok, I'm back, go ahead". He said the next several minutes was about the funniest conversation he heard in a long time while the two callers both tried to sell the other something at the same time! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Fitzgerald Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT:Re: [U2] Dialers with Universe Oh; and here's something I did learn, for what it's worth. The PD "listens" for a human voice, If it hears a short burst ("Hello?") followed by silence, it connects you to an available operator. If it hears a longer burst, indicating a voice mail greeting (This is Dick Cheney. I'm not here to take your call..."), it hangs up. So, if you answer your phone with a sentence longer than, say, 3 seconds, you'll get hung up on. Probably better to be on "Do Not Call", but a handy trick to know, I've found. ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
