I just started to tap into cold calling, and it my surprise a few good leads came off of it. I never even considered doing it before. I know how I respond to these people that call me on the phone. I am never mean, but I know I would not … (5 comments)

Hi,
Recently I received an e-mail telling me that my cell phone number is about to be release to the telemarketing companies.
Telemarketing is a word that makes many people cringe. They are normally regarded as those irritating people that call you during dinner time for the purpose of selling you something. Let me tell you what our experience has been with telemarketing. We obtain leads that are in adjustables that are about … (0 comments)
Every night you probably get at least one phone call from someone offering you a new loan. Not only does this person know your name & your phone number, but they know everything about your loan. Who it's with, when it's maturing and the interest rate. Shocked? What else do they … (2 comments)
ahhh telemarketing, cold calling, any way you slice it, it's been around for some time so it must work! Many people don't like to cold call. However we know cold calling works in building business and generating activity where there is none! Professional Lists Inc., has worked to bridge the gap! Using our … (1 comments)
Do you find yourself with "too much information?" Are you wanting to put a stop to all the items you didn't ask for, don't need, don't want and really don't care about?
I normally don't answer my cell phone when I see the call originates from a toll-free number because it's normally a vendor trying to sell me something (usually search engine placement or lead generation). But today I let one of those 800 numbers go to voice mail.Most vendors do not leave … (8 comments)
Two phone calls today from non-local area codes. Bright and cheery voices rang through the ear piece each time from folks who I didn't think I knew. After giving them a moment to clarify that they indeed were strangers trying to sell me something not very necessary I thanked them for … (1 comments)
What is with this new rash of computer-generated and pre-recorded messages trying to sell me stuff lately?I thought somewhere along the way there was a law passed that made it illegal for marketing companies to solicit using a computer as the initial interaction with a prospect. I thought the initial call … (10 comments)

I just started to receive a few calls per day on my land line phone from telemarketers again. I had in the past, so I registered for the do not call. In the past 4+ years haven't had a problem, so I registered again to see if this would stop the calls. We will … (4 comments)
Calling all agents, calling all agents.........Beware of the telemarketers!!!! They have found our numbers and aren't afraid to use them. Just this morning I recieved three seperate calls from people trying to sell me search engine placement, preferred agent status on a HUD website, and the ever present House … (9 comments)
Realtors soliciting business from expired listings or just cold calling may be violating the do not call list registry. Is this fair, its not like were tring to sell snake oil or some other product or lottery ticket. Should the law apply to realtors, do you even think about it when … (16 comments)
I am a regular for tuning in to watch Andy Rooney on Sunday evenings. Most of the other stuff there really doesn't interest me that much but Andy Rooney does.I could only wish I could think the way his brilliant mind works. I love his style and without too much effort, I … (37 comments)
I have been cold calling for a while now, not nearly as long as many of you, but I have always wondered how the people I call have viewed my calls.

You can help stop unwanted phone solicitations by registering your phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. Your registration is good for 5 years before you need to … (0 comments)
Thanks to the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call Registry, 150 million Americans have enjoyed far fewer unwanted sales calls over the last few years. It hasn't been perfect, but progress has clearly been made due to this important program. But, just when you thought it was safe to eat dinner … (7 comments)
Look for no negative cash flow, no variable interest rate loans, no balloon payments, keep for a lifetime, and no dangerous areas. When I would consistently make offers based upon my savings account balance, a few things would happen. I would meet sellers who know my intentions and sometimes I would … (3 comments)
Does any one know where, and or how do we go about getting the Do Not Call Lists? I am very interested in cold calling people about their expired listings and some FSBO's, but I do not want hear about how they are on the Do Not Call List. I don't … (4 comments)
Okay, I see that I have a call coming in from an unknown number. Is it a potential client relocating to Austin? Is it something productive? Sadly, no. It is a sales call - again. I have registered all of my numbers on all of the "do not call" lists available, … (53 comments)
I don't know about anyone else, but in the past few weeks I have been flooded by telemarketers. In each incident the caller starts with " I found you on Active Rain". 
Is it me, or is anyone else getting these calls...... I have been receiving calls from people trying to sell me everything from Lead generating services, to vacation packages to offer buyers on my listings. When I ask them how they got my number, they say they found me on ActiveRain....my … (16 comments)
I was speaking with a fellow mortgage lender friend today. His marketing is based on buying mortgage leads from websites and then telemarketing people to refinance. He was very excited as he told me about a story he read in the newspaper today that wrote about millions of people whose numbers will start … (8 comments)

I have been bombarded with calls from the telemarketers trying to sell … (8 comments)
I'm posting this little trick just in case anyone reading here is not aware of it.
So why are we being solicited by folks who are hawking Multi-leveled Marketing schemes not just through our AR email contact but via telephone? Phone calls which clearly state the saw my profile and have the permission of AR President to contact ME. Now I don't know about anyone else but … (6 comments)
Oh man…does any profession catch more flak than telemarketers? This is another of my “off-the-wall” installments on something that doesn’t directly relate to real estate issues, but it is something that I found very interesting.
This week, I was having one of those sucky weeks. Weather was hot, customers were difficult, … (14 comments)
A new wave of junk mail and telemarketing that consumers are starting to become aware of are "Trigger Leads". Trigger leads are leads that can be bought by lenders, mortgage brokers and others who want to solicit to consumers who are already interested in a mortgage. Here is how it works, … (9 comments)

Been thinking lately about doing other pro-active activities. Other than knocking on doors, posting flyers, posting road signs, placing ads in magazines & newspaper, following up on emails and returning calls etc. I was thinking of doing some old fashion telemarketing, I know I need to get the list scrubbed for … (10 comments)

In 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) will begin to enforce its rules against pre-recorded sales calls, unless the calls meet a narrow exception. The FTC’s rules prohibit these types of calls even if the caller has an “established business relationship” with the recipient, putting its rules in conflict with the … (2 comments)
I know a Mortgage Broker that is passively 'looking' to hire one or two inside sales/telemarketing types here in Allentown.It's a small company, and he needs help on cold calls, following up leads, etc. If you know anyone that maybe has that 'wanna be a broker' type, maybe just out of … (5 comments)
