[Cold Calling] Asking for Payment Over the Phone
I would like to know from an experienced sales telemarketers (for Consumers not Businesses) if asking for credit card information over the phone is a viable and recommended way of collecting payment.
Of course i could collect money by directing them to a website where they can pay via credit card/pay-pal or send a bill to their address but i am worried doing any of those 2 options will get the "lead" cold.
Your thoughts ? past experience ?
What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
Cheers, Laurence.
