Phuggers are like chuggers and other links
Phuggers are like chuggers, apparently, in this piece about “low-paid workers chained to their telephones in call centres”.
(Incidentally, a “chugger” is a “poor sod you see standing around Oxford Street desperately trying to sign punters up to charities you’ve never heard of.”)
SalesMarks, meanwhile, tells us that “In writing a cold calling script, there are a few things to remember” and cold calling might be pure S&M.
2010 will be the death of cold calling as we know it, allegedly … and last but not least:
Cold-calling is tough, humbling, depressing and exhilarating, all in the space of a day.
