[arrl-odv:19319] Re: RE: RE: ARRL Member Recruitment Telemarketing

I thank and agree with those who have weighed in with concerns about the telemarketing program. Although this one is, I believe, aimed at lapsed members, the audience remains one that may be vocal in a variety of forums frequented by current members. My other observation is that non-hams are usually not effective talking to hams about Amateur Radio matters. No matter how goodl a script they are given, they don't really "speak the language" and are totally unaware of past issues that might impact a contacts's point of view or concerns. Thus, they are unlikely to persuade someone who left the League over policy matters. If failure to renew was due to economic reasons, no amount of sales talk will fix that. I just don't see a lot of up-side to this program. 73, Marty N6VI
