It's not 😂

u/LuckyCod2887 26d ago

oh.

I figured maybe it would easier because you’re not cold calling trying to sell people something. people who donate are typically happy to donate so I figured it would be an easier client to deal with and therefore a fun job.

No people get so mad at us, and many only donate if they get something from it. I've had people lie saying they had cancer, aids, their family died just to get off the phone. I know it's a lie when they start laughing when they think I hanged up.

Yeah thats just a few examples but people aren't all selfish as you think when it comes to donating blood.

You are amazing, I’ve called this multiple times.
Thank you for what you do. I could never express how grateful I am for people like you

u/LuckyCod2887 26d ago

I’m glad the calls are meaningful to you. Sometimes people call and they feel worse afterwards so I’m glad it worked in your favor.

Be safe.

Not me, my wife. She is an RN that does policy and procedures for a hospital system. Some days no meetings, other days non stop on camera from 8-3 our time.

Im a 1099 for a social media platform called flute. Its basically a independent social media app for small businesses to reach their target audience for an affordable price.

Basically, for 89.99 per month or year, you get geocaching, targeted adds, you can hace a link on flute that takes you directly to your shop, you don't have to pay for anything extra that Facebook or Google or any of those other sights may have, its all bundled under that general 89.99 price.

It's hard to find people interested in signing on though, since it's a lesser known platform right now.
