Yesterday a telemarketer called Tracey to tell her how rude I was to him.
The past two weeks, I have been ignoring calls from 3 outfits that want to sell me top-ranking placement on Google and Yahoo. I finally decided to take one of the calls because the messages all said - we are calling on behalf of Yahoo and Google - and I wanted to know - are they really or is just a ploy to get some legitimacy.
So I took a call from Jason at Ideal something-or-other. I immediately asked him if they represent Google. He told me they are a reseller for Google, so I'm not sure if Google would aggree with their representation that they represent Google.
Anyway Jason wanted to sell me #1 position for the search term - east bay real estate. I asked him how much - only $900 a month. I told hinm not ineterested, thanks for calling.
According to Tracey, he thought it was unprofessional that I - the guy he is bothering, was not interested in listening to his sales pitch.
I tell you, I couldn't sleep last night because of the anguish I caused someone who has no hesitation in dialing my cell phone number which is on the do not call list.
I don't know how many times I have to add my cell number to the do not call list, but I am getting 3-4 solicitation calls per week day. No I do not want SEO services, I do not want magnets, I do not need another website, blah blah blah. It is really annoying and the same services seem to call me over and over!
