Informal. A room staffed with telemarketers who use illegal or high-pressure sales tactics to sell stock, commodities, or land, for example.

In business, the term boiler room refers to a busy center of activity, often selling questionable goods by telephone. It typically refers to a room where salesmen work using unfair, dishonest sales tactics, sometimes selling penny stock or committing outright stock fraud. The term carries a negative connotation, and is often used to imply high-pressure sales tactics and, sometimes, poor working conditions.


Πώς θα το αποδίδαμε όταν οι συγκεκριμένοι πωλητές πουλάνε μετοχές;
