We get telemarketers with really specific target market. I like to experiment with target market mathematics.
TM: Is there a male over the age of 20 with an interest in large household appliances?
Me: We've got three males averaging 16 who are pretty keen on microwaves. How large are we talking? We've also got a 21 year old female who loves fridges, but as a woman is incapable of making financial decisions, so I can understand why she's excluded from your target market.
TM: Um... How? How old? How many? How?
In my last flat, we had a telemarketer who steadfastly refused to believe that there were no men living in the house.
"Can I please speak to the oldest male?"
"Sorry, there are no males here."
"Okay, when will the oldest male be home?"
"Never, there are no men."
"Okay, when would be a good time to call and speak to the oldest male?"
"NO MEN. ONLY WOMEN. NO MEN."
