stoned and telemarketing go hand in hand. here in missouri we have tons of call centers, thanks to our central time zone and relatively neutral accents. If you can call people all day long and say the same bullshit without being high, mad props to you
Haha, I could aswell - and I actually got an average of 2 leads per 3-hour shift, when everyone else was on 2 leads a week. A lead is where someone agrees to let you come round to give them a quote BTW.
It did get boring after a while, and I kept going outside for a ciggy all the damn time. They bitched at me for that, but I said to them that theyre not gonna fire me because 'Im too valuable to the company - you fire me, and your boss comes down on your ass because were not getting any leads'. Yeah, kinda cheeky, but I was fed up with that job. They even made us stay behind for half an hour once because no-one (well, I got one that shift) got any leads. I told them to go fuck themselves and walked out. Never gone back since.
P.S. If some stoner surgeon works on me, I want him high as hell!
you shouldnt get high on any job! get high as you like on your own time, not on company time........

I know I had a hella time trying to sell anything over the phone when I used to smoke up. I'd forget to ask them about a product or wouldn't question them any further. I know the higher ups were glad to get me out of that call center.
I have always gotten high at work no matter what job I had:
I sold cars for a few years and I loved to do it stoned. My walk around presentations were always sharper and the closing, oh the closing was the best part. Head to head with the customer was a blast and it is easier to close deals because your relaxed and it makes negotiations go smoother.
Also, have done mortgage loans over the telephone. Did it high and it does help with the amount of rejection you deal with on a daily basis. In a business like that you have to be alot more self motivated and the rejection holds you back. Not in a way were you feel scared. Your just tired of dialing and hearing NO. So you get stoned, then all you wanna do is play video games on the computer. It is a double edge sword.
i dont think the president should get high
(well not while hes at work)
surgeon
