It is unbelievable. Phone number is 407-967-4715. I called the corporate Wyndam office and asked to be removed from their telemarketing list but they keep calling. <br /><br />I will never stay at a Wyndam property again because of this harassment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-61703222820052088522008-11-21T01:41:00.000-06:002008-11-21T01:41:00.000-06:00Sarah-I do not deny that it is a job, a good job, ...Sarah-<BR/><BR/>I do not deny that it is a job, a good job, and one that is staffed by good people.<BR/><BR/>However when I say the words "I would like you company not to call me back" and I keep getting calls (just this week I might add), then someone is not paying attention to the rules.<BR/><BR/>Alas, there is a fine line between honestly calling to promote a service and breaking what I understnd the rules to be. I am on a no-call list. I have asked this particular company to stop calling. AND, to use your words, I am asking the telemarketing company to "give me a break" - and being ingored. <BR/><BR/>I see a difference between honest cold calling and this. I see this as an over zealous telemarketing firm who can care less about how I feel. Wyndham is who gets hurt as I have an icky feeling about them to this day.thomsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230569732505245876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-70532099473322152892008-11-20T21:08:00.000-06:002008-11-20T21:08:00.000-06:00I work for Wyndham..as..*gasp* a telemarketer.I ca...I work for Wyndham..as..*gasp* a telemarketer.<BR/><BR/>I can honestly say, if someone is <I>legitimately</I> calling from wyndham, from my experience anyway, it isn't free. As far as I know, we just do discount packages for our resort locations. <BR/><BR/>Some of us are pushy, some aren't. I try to avoid high pressure sales. But face it, people can be jerks. I have customers press buttons on the phone, yell at me, swear at me, tell me to get a *real* job on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>I am a single mother and I have three kids to support. Wyndham is a great company to work for, the benefits are awesome, and the pay is pretty good when people actually listen to me and realize I'm offering a great product. Its getting them to the point of realizing what I'm offering is beneficial to them that is challenging and sometimes getting to that point may seem "pushy" but its sometimes what you have to do to get people to listen. <BR/><BR/>Telemarketing isn't an easy job, and overall I'm not crazy about telemarketers myself when I'm at home. <BR/><BR/>But as far as calling several times a day, we are only allowed to call once in a certain period of time, I believe its 2 weeks, if we make actual contact with a person, unless they specifically ask for a callback. There may be more calls if theres no answer, an answering machine, or something like that.<BR/><BR/>Anyway..my point is..give us a break. We're just doing our job. Its not like its a hobby for me to call people from 9am to 3:30pm talking about your next vacation. Really. It isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-56572426866978829182008-04-03T20:18:00.000-05:002008-04-03T20:18:00.000-05:00If you look up Wyndham on the internet, you will s...If you look up Wyndham on the internet, you will see that they have annoyed lots and lots of people in lots and lots of countries... They do not give up last night they called my husband 4times, and they have all ready called me this morning. They dont stop talking so I turn the phone off... This is very very poor marketing, I can usually be talked into anything, but these guys are so pushy that it gets even my back up...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-80814297784002000152008-01-21T11:41:00.000-06:002008-01-21T11:41:00.000-06:00It was probably someone who rented meeting space a...It was probably someone who rented meeting space at the conference center. There's, for example, a free dinner I've been invited to this week that involves hearing a pitch about money making software on the Internet. I doubt if the Wingate, now Wyndam, has any timeshares since they are just a hotel chain with a conference center. Who knows, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
