Yes, a sales man from India is calling you to tell you about an investment opportunity.

You can cleary hear that he have an India-accent.

He will do a short presentation of interesting projects for you to invest in.

What is the first thing that comes up in your mind?

"Cheap outsourcing in call centers" - Or that this is a

"proffesional broker that is giving you a high class investment opportunity that will make you money."

I KNOW that other factors are invlolved if you want to make business with this man or not.

I'm from Sweden - I don't think it sounds to good when a man from Sweden is talking english with a swedish accent - I always try to sound american.

Just some research that I am doing. All answers are welcome

The accent does not affect my decision or opinion IF you can communicate easily.

Telemarketing does not work with me. Does not matter what the accent is.

Doesn't matter who is calling. If you are trying to sell me something over the phone I won't bit. I say thank you and good bye. The internet can give me all the information on things I need now. No reason for someone to call me while I am home.

Whats even better is the emails you get in response to classifieds saying they are out of country, will offer you far more than you are asking, but you have to send them a cashiers check and they will have a subsidiary pick up the vehicle. Always classic, because you know people fall for it.

I hate when somebody phones me and sells something to me. I usually say" Sorry, I'm too busy to talk now". and i think the person understand that he or she is not desirable.

Generally, I respond politely informing them that I have my time at home and my time out. My time at home is for relaxing and that they are cutting into this time. Then I say "thank you" and simply hang up.

Though there are few instances that I have listened, this is usually when they have a faint accent rather than others with incredibly difficult speech to understand. Listen, and eventually inform them of my decision and hang up.
