telemarketer
A telemarketer is a person or company that makes phone calls to potential customers to promote products, services, or ask for donations. Their goal is to inform, persuade, or gather information from the recipient. Telemarketers often work for businesses, charities, or marketing firms, using scripts to communicate key messages. They may operate from call centers and often follow regulations to ensure respectful and lawful contact. While sometimes seen as intrusive, telemarketing can be a legitimate way for organizations to reach out to prospects and build their customer base.
