telemarketer
Cold call professional
A telemarketer is someone who sells products or services by calling potential customers on the phone.
The work is notorious for its intrusiveness—calls often come during dinner or from spoofed numbers—making telemarketer nearly synonymous with nuisance caller: I don't answer numbers I don't recognize; it's always telemarketers.
