Now what do I do?

BrianR • Oct 9, 2007 5:44 pm
The loved one calls me last night.

She has a new employee and she wants me to call her to help "train" her. Never mind the bad grammar.

This call will cost money. I demanded a discount...no word on the response (lost cell signal in rural WY)...yet.

So, so I do the secret shopper thing or be upfront about who I am and why I'm on the line?

LJ, I *know* your response already!

oooh, better do the secret shopper thing, cause if you were to tell the "trainee" who you were and it didn't work out (job) - they could tell your "loved" one that you told who you were and then "loved one" would be ticked at you.

I am very confused.

Have you ever called a friend or loved one to pretend to be a telemarketer to

a. see if they recognize your voice

and

b. see if they would buy the ridiculous thing you try to sell them?

the loved one hires customer support peeps? If so, how would it help train them if you told them who you were?

BrianR • Oct 10, 2007 10:52 am
Zippy nailed it.
jester • Oct 10, 2007 12:35 pm
Well, that's different. You're screwed.
Cicero • Oct 10, 2007 1:36 pm
Holy Crap.....zippy's goood...!!

I couldn't figure out for the life of me what in the hell was going on....

So...how'd it go Brian? Can you have her fired for not giving you a woody?

This seems odd......

You should be paid to help train. Not have to pay.
lumberjim • Oct 10, 2007 10:51 pm

BrianR • Oct 12, 2007 2:39 pm
Er, no. She won't roll with me until I get a truck with a bathroom in it.

There's a souvenir cup thread somewhere around here that I could direct you to...

So it's been ten days now. Still no mention of it by her.

Therefore:

Dodged bullet or not?

Discuss.

Not likely. In about a week you're going to hear "If you don't know why I'm mad at you then I'm certainly not going to tell you!"

Then in about four months, you'll ask her to do a favor for you ... she has noted this, you may be sure.
