The Clockworks

The insider on what makes us tick...

It's almost as if I am there, and you slam the door in my face...

Ok... click. Huh... click. You see it in movies and on television. The conversations over the phone that end without a good bye. Usually there's an "ok", "sure", or "yea" but sometimes there isn't any of that. You say something and wait for an acknowledgement but don't get any of it. The sad thing is that this happens in real life in the business world. All too often telemarketers are treated like members of an outcast nation... like the indians... I did some research and found these two comparisons.

Example 1.

Long ago the Indians faced much prejudice. The Americans did not even consider them people, just things. They went through incredible hardships just so the white settlers could steal their land. One of these hardships was the Trail of Tears (to learn more about the Trail of Tears, go to the Removal page). Also, they fought what was called the Indian Wars (to learn more about the Indian Wars, go to our Resistance page).

Example 2

Recently, telemarketers faced much prejudice. The Americans do not even consider them people, just robots. They went through incredible hardships just so they could bug you. One of these hardships was the National Do Not Call List (to learn more about the Nation Do Not Call Registry go here.) Also they fought what was called the "Do Not Call List bill wars" but they lost in many states because no one likes telemarketing. Not even the telemarketers. (to learn more about the telemarketing resistance, you'll have to use google and search hard because we don't think there is one.)
