Telemarketing could be selling items or could mean market research.

Since you're now bringing up the market research aspect (which most people don't associate with telemarketing), ok, let's tackle that new narrative:

Good market research practices involve paying people for their time and energy spent providing feedback about a product or behavior. Telemarketers do no such thing. They just bother people to solicit from them. You are suggesting that just cuz it's for research that makes it better?

Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about - It doesn't matter what it's for - calling people with solicitations of any kind is wrong.
