Robot Salespeople On Phones Today

Persuasive Robotic sales calls 
The newest not-so-improved phone solicitor
Easier to hang up now.
Less desperation.
You do not go to church with it.
You will not meet it at a PTA meeting.
You are probably not related.
Just a banal sounding recorded voice.
Progress?
I think not.
So much easier to say no.

Panagiota Romios Date: 3/3/2019 6:14:00 PM Caren, we live in an age that would eat cell phones if they could. So no surprise, companies feed us our just deserts. In Techie we Trust? Enter robo calls. Ick. I don't like robo calls either. But being weird, I prefer a human voice. I do know some calls still have humans on the other end. I respect them always. Thank you for an idea for another poem Panagiota. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 6:55:00 PM You are welcome my friend. Fly away with it. Ideas are rampant around here. All I have to do is turn my head. I have piles of stuff everywhere leaking ideas.

Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 3/3/2019 12:20:00 PM Very well put, Caren! Those calls drive me up the wall. Thankfully, if have caller ID and don't respond to such calls.

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/3/2019 10:57:00 AM Robotic salespeople attempt to be demotic---but come off as idiotic! Good thoughts here, Caren! In fact, you're inspired me! (See 'Blessed Sales Calls' on my list today) :) gw Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:29:00 PM I will. I am running there now.
