I agree with LJF, I would not want a job of calling people and bugging the hell out of them, and disrupting their lives, and that's exactly what they do.

Not a job I would want. Although I know they're only doing their job, but telemarketers have a knack of calling just when you're sitting down to eat your dinner or want to sit down after a long day's work.

Okay, let me add another perspective to this side of sales. The one's who cold call for common, everyday things are telemarketers. Easy to deal with...just hang up. But, I was in a unique position for a few years and did quite well: Diagnostic hardware and software. Developed a stadium full of technicians, computer dweebs and re-sellers who ALWAYS took my call. Back in the days when these guys had to deal with things like IRQ/DMA conflicts in a motherboard (which amounts to having to unravel a problem that equates to 18 to the 18th power...manually)...I had the answers. We could pre-sell diagnostic hardware...still in production...6 months in advance. I had a blast with my customers. I trained them how to be good customers and tell me instantly, if they weren't in a buying mood. I haven't even tapped the great stories that came out of that period of my life...

You can make some money at it, and for all the bitching about the industry, there's a simple reason that it operates as it does.

Because its damned effective. A lot of people respond to it, despite what anecdotal evidence would have you believe.

As someone with a marketing background, let me assure you that telemarketing companies are in business to make money, not to annoy you. That's just a cost of doing business.

The downside of the job, of course, is that it makes you about as popular as a Military Policeman in Sauron's Orcish Army.
