Tej Kohli’s joke on how to handle a telemarketer:

1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money. Ask, “How long can I keep it? Do I have to ever pay it back, or is it like the other money I borrowed before my bankruptcy?”

2. If they start out with, “How are you today?” say, “Why do you want to know?” Or you can say, “I’m so glad you asked, because no one seems
to care these days and I have all these problems, my sciatica is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died . . .” When they try to get back to the sales process, just continue on with telling about your problems.

3. If the person says he’s Joe Doe from the XYZ Company, ask him to spell his name, then ask him to spell the company name, then ask where it is located. Continue asking personal questions or questions about the company for as long as necessary.

4. This one works better if you are male: Telemarketer: “Hi, my name is Judy and I’m with Canter and Siegel services….
You: “Hang on a second.” (few seconds pause) “Okay, (in a really husky voice) what are
you wearing?”

5. Crying out, in well-simulated tones of pleasure and surprise, “Judy!! Is this really you? I can’t believe it! Judy, how have you
BEEN?” Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know you from.

6. Say, “No,” over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep an even tempo even as they’re trying to speak. This is the most fun if you can keep going until they hang up.

7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up with their Family and Friends plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can muster, “I don’t have any friends . . . would you be my friend?”

8. If they clean rugs: “Can you get blood out, you can? Well, how about goat blood or HUMAN blood – chicken blood too?”

9. Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but necessary feedback in the form of an occasional “Uh-huh, really, or, “That’s fascinating.” Finally, when they ask you to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them you couldn’t give your credit card number to someone who’s a complete stranger.

10. Tell them you work for the same company they work for.
Example: Telemarketer: “This is Bill from Watertronics.”
You: “Watertronics!! Hey I work for them too. Where are you calling from?”
Telemarketer: “Uh, Dallas, Texas.” You: “Great, they have a group there too? How’s business/the weather? Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees! Oh well, see ya.”

11. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy and if they will give you their phone number you will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their home number and tell them you will call them at home (this is usually the most effective method of getting rid of Telemarketers). If the person says, “Well, I don’t really want to get a call at home,” say, “Yeah! Now you know how I feel.” (smiling, of course…)

Tej Kohli business blog will soon be back with more latest news and updates about business world.

According to an usual report, milk from the offspring of a cloned cow is being sold in UK shops. The Food standards agency is investigating the claim made by an anonymous British dairy farmer. The FSA said it believed that the practice of selling milk from cloned cows and their offspring was not legal.

The farmer, on the other hand, claimed that he was using milk from a cow bred from a clone, as a part of his dairy production. The milk was not being identified as being different from produce derived from a naturally born cow.

The farmer made this claim to the international herald Tribune, on the condition of anonymity for fear that consumers would stop purchasing his milk.

He also said he was selling embryos from the same cow to Canadian breeders.

Earlier last month, the European parliament voted to prohibit the sale of dairy products and meat from clones and their offsprings. However, this has not yet passed into law. .

According to European Law, foodstuffs derived from cloned animals and their offsprings must pass a safety evaluation and get approval before being sold in market. The FSA, the authority responsible for assessing such food, said it has not made any authorisations, nor been instructed to do so.

The cows being used to produce the milk started life in the United States as embryos created from the eggs of cloned cows and the sperm of normal bulls. The embryos were frozen and flown to Britain where they were implanted into host cows. The offspring produce higher quantities of milk than normal cows.

In 2007 it was disclosed that eight cloned cows were born this way on British farms, including one in Shropshire.

Research has identified concerns for the health of animals produced as a result of cloning. There is some evidence of premature births and deformities. However, an FSA spokesman said: “Based on the best available evidence, there are no food safety concerns surrounding consumption of products from healthy clones or their offspring.”

A shopkeeper was dismayed when a brand new business much like his own
opened up next door and erected a huge sign which read ‘BEST DEALS.’

He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and
announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading ‘LOWEST PRICES.’

The shopkeeper panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign
of all over his own shop. It read: ‘MAIN ENTRANCE’
