Well, unless the industry as a whole can get its act in order, I will not
loose sleep over a decline to nothing in the available numbers marketers can
call. Unfortunately though, it's the responsible marketers that take this
seriously and "do their best" that will suffer because of it.
Due to my bad experience with telephone marketers I have no interest in
receiving calls from any of them anymore as it is just not worth my time and
the agro that goes with it.
You should experience the atmosphere when I say this to marketers on courses
I deliver - it usually promotes some very healthy debate!
Hmmm. Marketers loose their jobs. Some marketers pay me wages - is that what
they call an ironic paradox?! ;-)

Here's a 'fag-packet calculation' from our BLOG
www.compliancespeak.blogspot.com to get you thinking.
The number of residential phone lines at end of 2004 stood at circa. 34
million
The total number of phone lines registered on TPS by mid-2005 was 7.4
million, leaving an available pool of around 26.8 million.
At the same time, new registrations on TPS stood at 73,000 per week (with a
rapidly rising trend suggesting this weekly figure would increase)
In less than 7 years time, there will be no one left to call!
