Formula One

I had read about various ways how people get rid of telemarketers. One way was quite interesting. It is like this; when some one calls you, try to sell some product to them. I got my fair chance when one lady representing Barclay Bank called me. Conversation goes like this

Exe: Hai Is this XYZ
XYZ: Ya it is me
Exe: Sir, we are interested in giving a Barclay card to you.
XYZ: Oh finally. I work for Ascendas Software. I was looking eagerly for a call.
Exe:Sir
XYZ: We are into CRM and we have excellent suits designed especially for you
Exe: I am not understanding
XYZ: See every day you call and get lots of curses. Our highly efficient software that especially uses natural language processing capabilities inside highly customized application suits gives info on customer behavior and spending patterns .

Exe: What?
XYZ: Please help me
Exe: How can I help you?
XYZ: Please give your supervisor no
Exe: I don't have that
XYZ: Give me you number
Exe: I do not have one
XYZ: Please. I am new to this job and you know how difficult it is to market a product. Please help me.
Exe: You know Hindi?( Sir tone is gone)
XYZ: yes
Exe: tell what is this in Hindi
Xyz: Mein Ascendas mein kaam karta hoom and Mera paas ek beshkimti product hai jo aapko badi kaam aa sakthy hain.
Exe: Ok I understood. I will ask my supervisor to call you .
XYZ: Please do that...

Supervisor called me after 5 mins and it is up to audience to imagine. I got an appointment next Wednesday to sell the product.

Looking forward for the same........
