How Credit Card Companies Get People To Acquire Customers?

The topic for this week’s article was just not cooking up in my mind. Or it was just that I wanted to go about it slowly. I kept thinking but could not make up my mind. Suddenly something happened which you may call as an instinct of a writer or lady luck must have been pleased with me. I received a call from a credit card member bank

A woman was on the other side. She informed me that my request for a credit card has been confirmed and that they were going to process it. But before they could do so, certain queries were to be cleared from my side.

It is but expected that when someone calls for by credit card, it is only logical that questions would follow. But all this was not necessary in my case. I have not applied for a credit card in recent years, not even to buy a cup or even a basketball free with my favorite team baseball relief on top.

I told the woman that I had not sought any credit card.

And it was the truth, of course, because I am not like a politician who lies to someone on the other side of the phone.

Now it was an overwhelming response towards me. I am more often than not flattered when people recommend me for something, even when I recommended offer to give my seat on a bus or someone to drop me a line. But in this case I was sure I needed more information.

Who recommended me? I asked.

It was a matter momentarily articulated so that it could only produce a diminutive and specific answer.

“Umm” she said. Well, we thought you might be a good pick.

I can understand that I can be considered a good pick for a university, or even a striped sweater. But exactly does it mean to be a good pick for a credit card? This sure does mean that I desire of having certain goals but it is not necessary that I should go about striving to achieve these goals in order to live.  I have preferred this article not because of being deficient in other issues but to alert credit card companies to such calls and their subject. Try the following ways:

1. The executives are advised not to tell a person that the credit card is being processed because he is a good pick unless he has already tried using it. Unless the person has already used it up to a point when the credit card is probably outside stretched and it no longer facilitates any transaction. However, neither one nor the other is an ode to the logic of telemarketing.

2. In order to convince the person, you can take up new methods such as using a known name that has already recommended another person. If your creativity is no longer working, just try using the name “Jason A. Credit Card”. This may seem incredibly wrong, but the level of false sincerity implicit in this call will never surpass the level of fakeness.

3. Try to be a little snappy by saying that your company decided to sanction the credit card instead of saying that he or she requested a credit card but apparently realize that it has not been able to pass off.  This not only defers the professionalism of the phone call, but also is to the liking of everyone. And some of us even are in the liking of the credit.

All these above conditions will cause dwindle in sales techniques. I guess that is why they do not do so
