Hello, Reddit! JR here (Jayar, not Junior). So, let me ask you something. Have you ever looked at your phone, known you needed to make a call, and thought to yourself, "I'd really rather stick a fork in my eye"? Well, congratulations! You've found your solution. Whether it's a call you've been putting off for three weeks, something you're uncomfortable discussing, something you simply don't have time for, or perhaps something a little more... unconventional, I'm here to help. And yes, I DO make morally ambiguous calls. Nothing illegal, obviously. I'm a professional, not a supervillain. Need someone to call a business? Handle an uncomfortable conversation? Check up on someone? Play Santa Claus? Maybe you have an idea that falls somewhere between perfectly reasonable and questionably entertaining? I'm listening. A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND WHY I DO THIS I've spent a pretty substantial portion of my working life on the telephone. And not just chatting with Aunt Mildred about the weather. My first job involved COLD CALLS for the GOVERNMENT conducting SURVEYS. I capitalize those words because cold calling is difficult enough without having to convince complete strangers that answering government survey questions is somehow a worthwhile use of their afternoon. I did it for years with ORC Macro International. After that, I spent approximately 10 years working for a professional answering service called AAanswerphone ("A Better Answer"). Eventually, I found my way into the automotive dealership world, where I've continued working the phones. This is BDC work, for those unfamiliar with the terminology. I've never actually sold a car, but I've spent years handling calls, communicating with customers, and now managing people who do the same. In other words, I know my way around a telephone. Quite well, actually. SO WHAT KIND OF CALLS DO I MAKE? Oh, where do I begin? I've handled all sorts of situations, including: Delivering some rather unexpected family news. Yes, I've informed people they have children they didn't know about. NUMEROUS situations involving cheating boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, and partners. Trust me, there's very little that surprises me anymore. Regular check-in calls for elderly individuals who could use someone to talk to. Helping people practice difficult conversations so they can eventually make those calls themselves. Calling restaurants to investigate specific menu items, dietary restrictions, gluten-free options, peanut allergies, and so forth. Providing an impartial outside opinion when someone needs a third party who isn't emotionally invested in the situation. Prank calls (within reason, naturally). Playing Santa Claus and checking in to make sure the little ones are behaving themselves. Breaking up with people, asking people out, and occasionally helping someone profess their undying love. Even pretending to be a completely fictitious friend to see how family or friends react. I've also talked people through some extraordinarily difficult moments. Once, quite literally, talked someone off a ledge. The list goes on. The point is that there really isn't one particular category of call that defines what I do. AND HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE I OFFER... I don't just pick up the phone and wing it. If your situation requires preparation (most I find do), I can write a script for the call as well. Whether it's a carefully worded conversation, a difficult announcement, a professional inquiry, or something that requires a very particular approach, I'll put the words together and make sure we're on the same page before the call happens. And, where legally permitted and with the appropriate consent, I can also provide a recording of the completed call. So you're not just paying someone to make a phone call. You're getting the preparation, the delivery, and potentially a recording of the conversation itself. WHAT DOES IT COST? My starting rate is $20 per call. Obviously, every situation is different, and some calls require more time or preparation than others. Scriptwriting, additional preparation, and recording arrangements may affect the final price. I also offer discounts for recurring services, such as scheduled check-in calls. And I'm happy to have a brief, FREE introductory conversation with you beforehand. That way, you know who you're hiring and what to expect before spending a dime. I've never had a dissatisfied customer, and I've maintained a 100% success rate with the calls I've undertaken. HOW DO YOU GET AHOLD OF ME? Business phone: (518) 412-2323 Call or text! Email: Imakethecallforyou@gmail.com I generally respond within 24 hours. If something is urgent, feel free to call and leave a voicemail. And please, don't overthink reaching out. You don't need to have some elaborate explanation prepared. Just tell me what you're looking to accomplish, and we'll go from there. After all, making the call is my job. You just have to make the decision to let me do it. I look forward to hearing from you!   submitted by   /u/JfreakingR [link]   [comments]
