Sales Calls

I decided this week to be nice to the people who call my house.
I admit I have always been mean to them. At my nicest, I would just hang up. Even though I did this job of telemarketing once , I should sympathise with them. It's just so hard because they are soooo annoying. But I decided to just suck it up and be nice.

So, the first call I accepted wanted me to do a survey online. I agreed, I didn't even have to buy anything or sell anything. It took me about 10 minutes, and guess what........ they sent me ten bucks in the mail.

The second phone call I nicely accepted was from the state troopers office. They wanted a donation --- I gave the ten bucks.

It's funny, its such a little thing. I'll keep being nice to the callers, it makes a big difference. My kids took notice right away. They think its wierd that I'm answering the phone and talking to the people. And the people calling are probably very happy that I am not hanging up on them.

Who knows - maybe I'll get another $10.
