i'm making nothing but calls today - i was supposed to start a new project but my boss and his wife just had a baby so he's not here for the next few days. i'm the only one in the office so there's no one to make sure i'm doing what i need to be doing... this means i need to have some fun! give me some ideas!
here's what i usually say:
"hi, is _____ available?"
"hi, _____, my name is Amelia, i'm calling with AllWebLeads, I noticed that you had been shopping for some health coverage recently (as long ago as feb 2007...ugh) and i was just calling to see if that was all taken care of."
if not, i try to sell them insurance. yippee. i need to have some fun today.

tell them you're a long lost relative from africa and you want to wire them some money but can't legally send a money order for that large of an amount to a person without proper health insurance. health insurance you can give them, yes.

Do your job as you normally would, only, try a different crazy accent every time. That way, nobody can really "complain" and you get to break the monotony.

"Hi _______________,
This is Amelia from doomsday.org and now that scientists have confirmed the probable day of the apocalypse, we're building a spaceship that will take sinners to Alpha Centauri so they can have some more time to repent and go to Heaven when the apocalypse reaches Alpha Centauri, on the 4th July 9455. The tickets cost two thousand dollars, food not included, and kids can have a discount so they can have the chance of living more than just a decade.
We accept Visa, Mastercard and you can also wire us your money if you prefer"

hey we gotta make a living too. AND i'm not doing cold calls. the only way i have anyone's information is because they filled it out online when they were looking for insurance quotes. i call people and i'm like "i saw you were looking for insurance..." and i had this guy say "that wasn't me!" and i was like, oh really? is your address 5268 dillweed ln, is your wife's name ramona and is your birthday 4/32/64? oh yea, and is your favorite color blue? (we ask their favorite color specifically for this reason) and he was like "yeah" so either someone knows all that shit about you and is just inputting your info into online quote forms for shits and giggles or YOU WERE FUCKING LOOKING FOR INSURANCE YOU PIECE OF LYING POO!

Muffle your mouth with a sweater.
As soon as he/she picks up the phone and says hello say,
"The date is 5/21/08 at X:XX time. The target has now picked up the phone. Now commencing first wiretap of the day."
