"At the same time my book was getting rejected, I was getting an inordinate number of telemarketing phone calls in which I was regularly forced to reject others. Knowing how it felt to be turned down, it did not make me feel good to be rude—although I wanted to be. I thought surely none of these telemarketers wanted to do this for a living, and they must have been desperate for any income until they could find a less miserable line of work. One day a telemarketer began her sales pitch by asking what I did for a living." - Bruce E.

"Using what would be considered advanced telemarketing techniques for their time, Barlean and his wife Barbara set up a direct order concept. Consumers often committed to purchasing fish before they were caught. Barlean's staff called the network when he was coming in with a catch. The lines of cars from their customers created noteworthy traffic jams on these otherwise empty rural roads. The locals would see the traffic jams and they would stop to find out what was happening, and pretty soon, Barlean was looking like a pretty savvy small-town businessman." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Omaha unless they're returning home, of course, from visiting friends on the coast or running a telephone network operation, since Omaha is the telemarketing capital of the nation. It was nighttime and warm when I trotted off to my next destination. I got in a petro cab and took it to the hotel. This time I kept quiet and just dug being in the Midwest again. I stopped at the front desk in the homey lobby at the Carlson Country Inn & Suites (which is actually in Carter Lake), Iowa of Abbott Road and presented my ID and credit card and checked in. I went up to the third floor." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"The strategic campaign against Eikenberry called for well-targeted, effective political ads using the media of television, radio, newspapers, direct-mail, and telemarketing. The campaign against Eikenberry worked beyond expectations. The May 1992 attack severely damaged Eikenberry's fund-raising, to the point where after the attack, his opponents were raising $5 for every $1 Eikenberry raised. The initial attack also drastically cut Eikenberry's lead in the polls, which had been as much as two to one over his nearest opponent. Eikenberry's lead continued to drop throughout the summer." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)
