You are in college = you can do basic math.
- if you get off the phone 50% faster... say you keep someone one the phone for 10 seconds and most people can get people to stay on for 20 seconds = you should have twice as many calls. If the other people have more sales than you (or surveys or whatever you are doing) = that would be an indication that they would have less calls than you.
Also, is everyone calling on the same thing? It could be that other employers are giving long type calls than you. So your 600 calls is not even comparable to their 200 calls.
Cold calling is a tough job - I wouldn't want to do it.
You're just feeling stressed.
Slow down a bit on the calls, it's not the number of calls you make, but the number of sales they value anyway - if you slow down a bit, you might make more sales.
Ur just stressing man. Get some high quality herb and relax. Only after work and school tho:)
I work part time doing telemarketing, making cold calls on the computer and the calls usually come up the moment you hang up from the prior call. I go to college so when I come home I have home work all night. I have been feeling very tired, sick and drained and I notice I make 3-4 times the calls as anyone else, in 5 hours I feel weak and tired and like I need to lay down, I noticed everyone else has a lot less calls by a certain hour then I do, and I do not have a lot of answering machines, so even if they spent more time on the phone with people how could I have 650 calls by 2pm while everyone else has 200-250? Is it possible the manager increases the speed on my computer more than everyone elses? I notice while they are all relaxed I am tired and hate being there. I finally had to start pausing the computer and then the manager yells to me what's going on, and I notice other people wait longer between calls then I do? So my question is , is my computer speed increased at the main computer the manager watches? can they increase certain speeds on certain computers and I've been so tired from this job I am failing school, feel tired, sick, dizzy, and head pains. I wanted to go to the doctor to make sure I am not ill but why would I have so many more calls then everyone else all the time and feel weak and tired and sick working there part time?
