It was 11:36 in the morning and I’m in my home office studying when my phone rang.
I normally don’t answer phone calls if I’m studying but for some reason I had the urge to do it this time.
Sure enough as I suspect, it’s a cold call from a Carpet Cleaning Company based in Calgary, Alberta.
The tone of the telemarketer was friendly and he said “Hi, my name is Richard and I’m from XYZ Company. How are you today?”
And then he said that they have a promotion going on and offering me their services for $89.95.
I think the price is reasonable but as a typical consumer, I just don’t jump in and accept any offer especially from a cold call. I want to think about it first and see what their competitors have.
So I just asked him to leave his company name and telephone number.
Quickly I went to Google, and searched for their company name.
They don’t seem to have a website but I was surprised to what I’ve discovered.
