One of our Loan Agents / Realtor was returning phone calls and mis-dialed and called another customer instead. When the customer answered our agent apologized and then engaged in some courtesy small talk. Then the person who was called by mistake stated "I have been thinking about selling my home". Our agent had been looking for homes in this area for another client. Short story shorter; our Agent ended up representing a buyer and seller because of dialing a wrong number.
I worked for a fellow years ago who would take the blind phone call challenge. He would actually bet people that he could get a loan from anyone. He would have someone make up a phone number; dial that number and attempt to sell a loan. Sometimes he succeeded ! What he would do is call the number and ask for so and so... the person would announce that he called a wrong number. He would act confused and then say he was calling so and so to tell him that his loan had been approved. It is hard to believe but I heard him be successful at times. On other occasions we would go to a ball game and he would point at a seat and announce.."I am going to make a loan to the person who sits in that seat". We would really laugh when a child or teenager sat in the seat.
He was always challenging himself and always having fun with the endeavors. BTW he was mega successful and worth millions of dollars from his own sales successes.
Wrong number marketing can work if you keep if fun.
