My phone rings. It is a lead sales person for a company that promises, "We will put you on the front page of MSN, GOOGLE, YAHOO, ETC" After several minutes of listening and showing "interest" and "curious" I am handled over to a closer "senior project manager" He proceeds to lead me through a series of questions that can only be answered by yes otherwise I would look like an idiot. Then the bottom line.
For a 20 key phrase first page package $2999 and for a 40 key phrase first page package $4999 but wait today only with an unbelievable offer, if I take the 40 they will provide me one on one with their team of experts and I will get great saving. 40 phases for only $3499.
I say two things: I will check with my finance partner (wife) and I would like to real estate references. Yes please give me two totally happy clients. Yes, I know that they will only rave about the product/service of your company. I at this point of my carreer only pay for leads that end up as closed transactions. I do not pay for passive lead generation that ends up as nothing. Yes, I know that you can deliever on your promise that I will be on the first page. I want to talk with someone in real estate- not travel, not a vet, not a divorce attroney.
With much reluctance, I recieved two names of clients, real estate clients that they were happy to provide.
So HOW DO YOU THINK THE PHONE INTERVIEW WENT WITH RE AGENTS. Yes you probably guessed right!
They both were disappointed with the service and the results. They both felt that money had been spent and so far was wasted.
But wait, did I mention that not only did I talk with the lead sales person and the project manager but also I spoke with the VP of the Company. One of the owners. and then was pursued by another person from the company and offered a better deal for only $1999. Still I persisted an asked for two reference explaining that the company has yet to deliever on that. If you can't provide two good REF's how can I believe that you will provide a good service
Waiting to find out.
