Of course for some of us who really didn't want to sell anything they had provided us with a script that we had to read, that would take about 5 minutes, hit all 15 of the main selling points, and ask for the sale 3 times before we would finally say "Ok, I'll send you the Brochure, and video" It was one of the most moral wrecking jobs I've ever had. We often would over hear all kinds of things in the background. I got so good and reciting the Schpeal that I could actually listen and follow along with the background conversations, or Television shows. However I think the worst thing was when I could tell the person I was scripting, had set the phone down and walked away. We were often monitored to make sure we were hitting all 15 points, so I would have to go on talking to nobody. It was such an Awkward feeling, that I just had to share.
