Telephone Sales Should Be Stopped

Writen by Lance Winslow

Many people believe that when the government came up with the telemarketing act that the telephone sales would stop. Consumers were overjoyed to find out that no longer would they be harassed while eating dinner or at home. Nowadays people get cell phone calls where people are trying to sell them stuff and they have to pay for the minutes. It is unfortunate and I believe the telephone sales should stop completely.

Only business-to-business telephone sales should be allowed. Nevertheless the new telemarketing act has so many loopholes for companies who you may have done business with in the last six months or who have partnered with other businesses you have done business with in the last six-months who happen to have you in their customer database.

This means the telephone sales did not stop, only small companies can no longer call you and the larger corporations who you may have accounts with such as cell phone service, credit card companies, bank, airlines, travel services or other such businesses and of course the politicians can still call you.

So much for privacy? Don't you believe it is time the telephone sales should be stopped altogether? If so you are not alone; perhaps you should make your voice heard. Consider this in 2006.
