Dialing For Dollars Cheatsheet

Imagine that you are dialing into a company for intelligence retrieval. You have your script and your goals set and no matter how stonefaced the receptionist is, you are determined to strike information gold. So you dial, you hear the phone ring and AAAAHHHH!!!! A recording... Press 1 for this and press 2 for that, how aggravating. Fortunately, there is a way to bypass all of this.

Now, I rarely blog about how to leverage intel from the phone. Ummm... okay, I never blog about it, but after coming across this online gem, I just had to. Paul English's Cheatsheet is something I thought was only urban legend and whispered about in quiet recruiting circles. Imagine my surprise to discover that (unlike Bigfoot?) it is a true document. Yes!

Here is a peek at what it looks like.

I HIGHLY suggest that you visit Mr. English's website and download a copy as quickly as you can. If after reviewing it you see a company missing that (in your opinion) should be listed, then click here to update it.

Digability rating: Go, download now! Highest recommendation.

P.S. Here is a link to the United Kingdom version of The IVR Cheatsheet.
