Me:Hello

Them: Good Morning I am calling on behalf of <<Company Name>> and we specialise in Windows and Conservatories. I am calling today to see if you would be interested in any of these products and merely ask that you keep our company in mind for the future. Would you be interested?

Me: Yes, I am interested in a conservatory.

Them : That’s greats, all I ask is that you keep our company in mind fro the future. For security questions can I ask you your surname?

Me: Yes, its Mr <<Surname>>

Them: Thanks for your time, Bye

A short time later I receive a call this time from a female from the same company.

Them Hello Mr <<Surname>> I believe you are interested in a new Conservatory.

Me Yes

Them: Would that be in the next 6-12 months?

Me: Yes

Them: Can I make an appointment for our representative to come and see your for a no obligation quotation

Me: Yes, please as soon as possible

Them: How about tomorrow

Me Yes that would be great about 6pm

Them No Problem I just confirm that appointment. What colour of conservatory would you be interested in White or Brown

Me: White

Them: And what type of house do you own, is it semi-detached or detached.

Me: It’s a FIRST FLOOR FLAT

Them: What? A First Floor Flat, <<Abuse>> (Hang Up)

Me: ROFLOL

Going to phone and complain tomorrow that the sales rep didn’t come to see as per the pre arranged appointment and seek compensation for the fact that I stayed in all night.

Would that have been a 30 second call with a person that could actually speak fluent English then?
