Yep. Seems a lot of the telesales outfits that do ok have a lot of women thriving at it. The general profile of an FE agent is a male "hunter" type who is better suited to being on the road hunting. Exceptions obviously abound.

Yes, Ive always said that.
8 of our top 10 agents are all female, and would get CRUSHED in face to face sales. Some have even already failed at it.
It takes a special person for phone sales.
As a rule, I'm good at brushing off telemarketers. But a couple years ago this sweet little old lady called me from St. Louis. She had my nuts in a vice and I couldn't get loose.

I just don't see people giving out social security numbers and personal information over the phone in the future. I would NEVER. I feel like my generation is like that . I bet there will be this kick back to face to face in the next ten years....like people will revert back to this old school way of business.

You are just weird then. Young people won't have issues with this. People are getting more and more comfortable with transacting business over the phone and online. It's never going to go backwards.
Not quite there yet, but staring down the barrel. Sounds like your office is populated by women like this, so if I were you I'd take precautions. Precautions like wearing a cup!

Phone =/= online
....

you know that call block and ad block exist? My generation blocks everything and will never have home phones. That's right now....imagine 30 years in the future. I personally think telemarketers will not exist when I'm 50.
Online I think will be fine but phones are done for. Lol I'm normal.... my friends are normal... we DO NOT use our phones for anything other than texting and amazon.

If what you are saying is true, then everyone will just be buying online.
That gets rid of telesales and f2f sales.
I understand your logic, but Im not totally there, yet.
