Nah, just two or three beers while sitting around BSing or throwing some darts.

I'm good at it when I try to be, because I have a good phone voice, but I've been so morally opposed to the whole thing for the longest time. I got into telemarketing years ago, and did it for about 3 years. Then, after I stopped, I swore I'd never go back to it. I hate sales, period. But, after I lost my previous job, during the beginning of the job market crash, it was pretty much the only thing I could find. Since the market's gotten even worse, I wouldn't dare quit until I have some other job lined up.

Still, even though I'm capable of making so much more money than I am there, I'm just not down to use some of the tactics many of the other reps use to make sales. I'm not saint, but I want to make an honest living, even if it means I'm not one of their "heavy hitters" like everyone knows I have the potential to be.
