A sales agent calls Todd to pitch a student loan discharge scam. Todd responds with extreme hostility, threatening violence and insulting the caller. Christian Polk breaks down why cold-calling scams provoke such brutal reactions.
Yeah, hi, is Todd there?
Yeah, who's this?
Todd, this is the student loan discharge program. How are you today?
I wish I had a baseball bat and you were standing in the room right now.
Oh really?
Oh well, yeah, I would fuck you up so hard. First I would take your knees out, right? Then I could bust your jaw, and then I'd tell you how worthless you are. So when you go home, you can tell the kids you look at what a— what— how useless you are in this civilization. Okay, you should be working at Taco Bell.
That's Taco Bell, right?
First and foremost, kudos to that guy of actually staying on the call. And you'd be surprised, this actually happens a lot more than what you think it would, especially if you're doing more outbound. In the first sales job that I was in, I was an SDR and they literally had to stop all the SDRs for calling for a full day because one SDR called somebody and he literally threatened to bomb the office. So we all had to stop calling because we're like, is this guy serious? Like, we had no clue. So kudos for him to keep pushing through, right? Like sometimes when you call people, they're a little deranged. What are you going to do?
Comment “LAZY” and I’ll send you how I’m making $100k/mo in sales working less than 4 hrs a day
