Telemarketing @ Silouan Green

Silouan Green is a person, is also the name of the company which I work for as an intern in Indianapolis.

Silouan is a great guy. After surviving from air crash several years ago, he wrote a book about appreciating life and composed several songs by himself.

Silouan Green, the company, was established 7 years ago by Silouan, providing designing service including business card, web development as well as TV spot.

My supervisor, Matt Rogue, asked me to do telemarketing. I've called more than 200 calls for potential customers about the services we provide. In 40% to 50% of the calls I just gave voice mail and there are 10% of those I pretended to be one of their friend and found a solution for them. There are only 10 or so people really listened what I said and responsed. The rest of the calls were rejected by simply "not interested in" and being hang up.



There was one guy even telling me that he couldn't understand me because my broken English made it more difficult.

It was boring but challenging. I believe I will learn a lot from this job.

Your English is good enough.The guy who said your English is broken just wanted to reject you by the mean of teasing you.

If your English is bad, how about ours?

Thank you for the compliments. I still have to learn more to be more fluent and be like a native speaker if I want to sell things to them.
