It's amazing to me that telemarketing works considering that most everyone HATES getting such calls...

But some people are afraid of being rude and listen to the spiel. I know that my elderly mother doesn't understand the concept of a call centre and imagines that telemarketers are all local people so she has to be nice to them.
