ME: "Good Morning, may I help you?" (........this morning, at work..........in my most 'cheery' professional voice, of course)
Mr. Annoying: “Can I talk to the owner of the business, please?”
ME: “May I ask what this is regarding?”
Mr. Annoying: “I need to talk to the person in charge of making decisions for your company.”
ME: (.....here we go........) “What kinds of decisions?”
Mr. Annoying: “Ma’am, I’m only able to talk to the person who is authorized to make decisions for the company.” (sounding a bit annoyed)
ME: “What kinds of decisions, sir?” (......yes........two can play this game, people.....)
Mr. Annoying: “Is there an owner available that I can talk to?”
ME: “You’ll need to tell me what the decisions are regarding, so I know who it is that you need to talk to.”
Mr. Annoying: “Are YOU authorized to make decisions for the company?” (....trust me......I'm NOT making this up.........this is the actual conversation.........)
ME: “You haven’t really explained what decision needs to be made…..so……I haven’t a clue if I’m authorized.”

ReplyDeleteWhat's it regarding, you ask?
Well, I represent a company that manufactures air horns. You know, the kind you see at sporting events? Well, I would like to ask him or her if they would be interested in purchasing some for their employees.
Why, you ask?
Well, to use in case of annoying telemarketers :)
hahaha. I hate those phone calls. I'm getting really good at saying, that is handled out of our corporate location. and then I hang up. :)
