6 Tips To Stop Phone Canvassing For Good.
Telephone canvassing is a scourge.
As soon as your number is in their file, it's mission impossible to get rid of it.
Here are 6 effective tips to cut off unwanted canvassing and avoid being harassed for weeks:
1. Do not hang up immediately
It may sound counterproductive, but not at all. Why ? Because direct sellers should keep calling you untilthey get an answer from you, even negative.
This is their job. As long as they don't get a response, you're on the roster of potentially interested people.
However, if you hang up right away without telling them you're not interested, they'll keep calling you for weeks on end until they have a conversation with you.
2. Don't start a conversation
If you start talking to them somehow, they'll tell themselves that you are interested in their product and just need to be convinced.
The rule to follow is simple. Don't ask questions. Above all, don't explain why you are not interested in their product or service that they are trying to sell you.
Do not show any compassion or any other human feeling, at the risk of being snapped up in one way or another by the direct seller.
3. Don't get upset
Know that it is not the direct sellers (or telemarketers) who choose your phone number.
It's a computer that dials the number automatically. If you yell at the direct seller because you've already had 8 calls, you're unfortunately unlikely to be sympathetic to you.
Because in practice, it is not his fault, since it is the computer which called you.
As a result, there is a good chance that you will be put back on the file of potential customers and therefore called back by another direct seller another day ...
4. Don't hang up in the middle
As in tip # 1, don't hang up in the middle of the conversation without an explanation.
If you do that, you can be sure that the direct seller will call you back in the minute and say "Sorry, we've been cut".
And if you don't pick up, they'll keep calling you back over and over again.
5. Don't let the direct seller call you back at another time
Anything that is not a firm and definitive "no" is interpreted by the direct seller as an opportunity to call you back.
When you say "Now is not the right time", the direct seller understands: "Call me back later!"
When you say "Sorry I don't have time to talk about this now" the direct seller understands: "I'm interested but not today!"
All direct sellers have a script that tells them how to answer every argument you can imagine. So the less you engage with them, the better.
6. End the conversation for good
The best tip for ending a conversation with a direct seller is to use this phrase: "Please add me to your list of people to no longer contact."
Don't say, "Can you put me on the no-call list?" or "I no longer want to receive your calls". In this case, they will be forced to ask you why.
Be polite, but firm. If they ask you why or if they don't want to do it right away, stay calm and just repeat, "I would like you to add me to your no-contact list."
As you can see, it's all a question of how to say STOP to phone harassment.
By using exactly these words and avoiding the 6 mistakes mentioned above, you don't give the direct seller a chance.
The way you answer a sales telephone canvass is decisive.
Either you make the wrong choices and you will continue to be harassed. Either you know how to answer and you will get rid of the canvassing for good and block those advertising phone calls.
Make the right choices and you won't be hassled anymore.
