Topps cold calling tilers now ?

[Fekin]

Yesterday I got a cold call from the Chorley branch of Topps and it started off just like all the other call callers...

ring ring,

Hello

That blah blah tiling.

Yes...

Do you cover the chorley area ?

Yes I do.

Do you work much in the Chorley and surrounding area ?

Yes I do.

Ohh brilliant, well this is "whoever" from Topps Tiles Chorley and we would like to sign you up.

Sign me up ?

Yes, sigh you onto the books.

In what way, an approved fitter ?!?!

No, with a trade account so you can take advantage of our great offers and trade prices.

I already have an account with you...

HAVE YOU !!!

Yes, number 12345

OH RIGHT.........

So how would I have opened an account with you if I had not already got one ?

Over the phone, just your name and address and we would have do it for you.

Well, I've saved you a job then 🙂

Thank you and hope we can be of service to you soon.

Dish me cards out then 😛

TAFS only, sorry.

No problem 🙂

Seemed strange to get Topps cold calling for trade accounts what with some of the problems some people on here have in getting one opened :huh2:

That's discusting. You'd think being the biggest tile only outlet they'd have some tact about the traders relationships.
