Smart Call #38 — Telemarketing pranksters
October 30th, 2008The general public’s dislike of unsolicited inbound telemarketing is well known: it’s why we have a Do Not Call Register.
But some people still think it is worth taking their dislike of telemarketing further, by conducting pranks when they receive a call. Some take it even further and record their pranks and put them on the Net.
This week’s Smart Call meets one of these pranksters, Gerant Kenneth, who has posted more than 30 pranks on his YouTube channel. We asked greant why he conducts pranks and how he feels they impact telemarketers.
On this week’s show:
- Musician, artist, comedian and telemarketing prankster Gerant Kenneth explains his motivations.
- Dr Catriona Wallace helps us to decipher the week’s news
- We finally find a way to cover the US election, just like every other media outlet in the world!
Don’t forget the webinar we recently conducted with sponsor Citrix Online. The webinar covered remote support and you can watch a video of the show by clicking here.
Big thanks to our founding sponsor NSC and Supporter CallDesign.
