Question came up over the weekend between some friends - does tele-marketing work? Everyone agreed that it is a pain in the arse to get that phone call at dinner time for some lame resort.

Granted, it is a cheap way to get the word out and getting at least 2% of all calls to hit may prove profitable (considering they most likely don't pay these people anything). Still, is it a viable form of selling? I do not know anyone who has ever (or at least admittly) bought anything from a tele-marketing effort.

Thoughts?
