卖保险,卖手机、卖楼盘……推销电话让人烦。你知道“推销电话”在英语中的地道说法是什么吗?
电销
If someone makes a cold call, they telephone or visit someone they have never contacted, without making an appointment, in order to try and sell something。
如果某人给你打了个“冷电话”(cold call),就是说他在与你素未联络、且并未预约的情况下贸然致电或拜访,试图销售自己的商品。
我们常说的“骚扰电话、推销电话”就可以用cold call来表示。其名词形式为cold calling。
例如:
She had worked as a call center operator making cold calls to sell life insurance。
她在一家呼叫中心做电话员的工作,专门打推销电话卖人寿保险。
