Call centers you know the ones, companies that always call during dinner with the standard question “Should I call sir/madam at any time?” Now I also work in a call center myself, but I really hate those types of calls. That’s why I’m going to explain to you how to get rid of it.
How do you get calls from call centers?
First of all, it is important to know how to get it. Call centers do nothing more than complete lists when they call. These lists are bought up, many mail order companies easily sell their customer files. So if you are a member of Wehkamp, Neckermann, Otto and similar companies, you are guaranteed to receive a call.
Unfortunately, there are more ways to get on his calling list, for example, take the national survey with which you can win a year of free groceries every year. You fill in all kinds of things there, such as when you are ready for a new mortgage, when your telephone subscription expires, which insurance policies you have and which you do not. Suppose I have an insurance company, then I am interested in which insurance policies people have and especially which ones they do not. So I would buy that file and call those people.
The Internet is also a very sensitive medium, on the Internet we also give out our data far too easily, while we do not read the conditions, such as this data is not used by third parties or this data is only used internally, your privacy is guaranteed, that’s where we look. not to and we fill in everything to have a chance to win a prize, to name but a few.
How do you get there again from way 1?
Okay, now you know how to get on it, but it’s more important how you get off. The first step you can take is to register with infofilter.nl, which ensures that people cannot call you randomly. There are of course also companies that simply call the entire telephone book. These companies have their backs against the wall with an info filter. Unfortunately, this is only a small part of the problem because nowadays call centers call on behalf of a company that you have given permission to call. So then you get this, Good afternoon you are speaking to xxxxxx xxxxxx on behalf of Wehkamp/Neckermann/Otto, which means that you do not call randomly and then you do not have to bother with the info filter, how do you solve that.
How do you get there again from way 2?
To get rid of the calling lists of call centers that call on behalf of another company, you need a little patience. You should absolutely not get angry with a call center employee because, I am one myself, but if you get angry, the call center employee will only have fun and will even put you back in the file just to harass you. So what you have to do is very simple. If they ask: Do I have the pleasure of Mr./Madam.. just deny it. You say that you have never heard of that name and you accuse yourself and say unfortunately I don’t know who you should be talking to.
Conclusion
This results in you gradually getting rid of the lists because that is an unnecessary waste of time for call centers. So it takes some time, but then you are as good as done with it and remember never just enter your telephone number or address anywhere.
