Outsourcing Costa Rica? It may be a wise move during a recession.

Well, I guess it was your 2nd post ........you have the links in your sig tag, why the copy/paste from the website?

Are you here to discuss cigars, or market your business to us?

Sounds like he is a SPAMMER to me!

I tell them to never call me again! If I want to buy something I will be the 1 to initiate contact.I do not appreciate being called by a Telemarketer, & will never buy anything from 1!

Us Kansas boys think alike.

ashauler,

Thanks for the additional interest and good question.

Since it is a hot topic these days,I wanted to read some opinions from the members.

Nobody here is looking for a telemarketer. Yet, everyone has had a phone call from one and may have something to say.

Hey there Richard,

Can't say that I would consider telemarketing a hot topic on this board. But shit, you've been reading the threads so I'm sure you got a better handle on that than I do.

Reason being that Costa Rica has many call centers. Especially, for the gamblers out there.

Regardless, I am harmless and want to meet interesting people.I find that those that have a background with cigars know the finer things in life and have a well educated opinion of things.

Finally, Costa Rica is a cool place to visit.I may have some good suggestions for you.

So, what cigars do you smoke?

"Juliet" ???

I think you're confusing your Shakespeare with your cigars there Dick.

Does anyone know where I can get lamps on-line?

Hello, Bill,

I don't think Dick would be able to provide on-line lamps. However, we may be able to strike a marketing deal with Mr. Bagnino which could be leveraged through Dick's call centers. I don't recall at any time receiving any telemarketing calls from a firm marketing lamps. I believe we might have the core for a very lucrative business, as long as Mr. Bagnino is able to provide reasonably priced Cuban Lamps.

By the way - do you think you might be interested in marketing those wonderful clocks you create? I'm thinking we could not only market lamps (possibly cigar logo lamps), but we may also want to consider marketing cigar logo clocks as well.

Just a thought! I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Thanks!

Now this just makes my day. I am hounded by telemarketers all day, every day, and then when I get home maybe one or two more. It is such a nuisance especially when they tell my secretary that they "are returning my call" or "calling about the appointment we had" just to get through. She's learning to read them pretty good. We like to put them on hold for as long as possible. Of course they won't hold very long anyway because their time is even more important than mine.
Why not just email me. It's a lot easier to "Delete All" than to slam the phone 10 times a day. Shit.

DeeDubya,

I respect them for trying. Yet, lying is not ethical.

I am glad our Gatekeeper is becoming wiser. Ask her to get their personal cell numbers. If they do not comply, it is a cold call and she should hang up.

Hopefully, that may help reduce the calls and save time.

One question, have any of them actually been good on the phone or offered anything of importance?

Well Richard, (heck, lets keep this informal, can I call you Dick?) I got some Ginsu knives one time from a telemarketer, and those damn things are sharp as hell. I've had them for about 15 or 20 years and they slice the shit out of my tomatoes to this day, even though I've sawed through some knarly bones with them as well.

That's about it for me. Hey, do you guys telemarket for any cigar companies? That would be sweet if you had an "in" with somebody.
