i just ask the telemarketer if i can call them at they're house at a later time. but, they never seem to want to give out they're home number.. hmm wonder why..Originally posted by A1R3KLOL
im on do not call. i can just imagine the adult companies that will go down if they start doing this. spam is different. calling someone at dinner or when they are lying in bed with their wife is gonna get someones ass in a sling. to me telemarketers aren't a problem. the best thing you can do to a telemarketer is act competely ecsatic and tell them that you are 100000% interested and to hang on a second, you need to answer the door real quick. put down the phone and just go do something. doesn't matter what. don't come back for like 3-5 mnutes. when you come back make another excuse to put the phone down. repeat. this is a great game. the most valuable thing to a telemarketer is their time, wasting a whole lot of theirs will teach them a lesson.

I appreciate good telemarketing. It's an art and a gold mine for anyone that can do it well. Too often though they put a $7/hr bonehead on the phone reading from a script totally unaware of how to sell.Comment

You make a very good point. And, when some stranger comes walking up my driveway, dropping off a flyer or wanting to give me a spiel, I ask for a phone number.Originally posted by HardlinksWhat lesson is that?
They are just people trying to make a buck to feed there families. "Telemarketers" are just employees man, you got problems its with the companies, not the people making $10-15$ an hour to call people all day. Also., you think it really bothers them to have you unhook them for 4-5 minutes...they still get paid, your just wasting the bosses time.
There is cities across North America where the only opportunity for many is to work in call centers. Im not saying its adequate for adult programs to call people but to blatently fuck around with people who are trying their best to feed the families BY WORKING is retarded. Atleast they have enough work ethic to get a job, they could just as easily be on welfare and not calling you.
And, then I call their employer and tell them they have been warned, since it is not legal to shoot them or have them arrested for just walking up my driveway. I have to tell the door to door sales person to desist from stepping onto my property and if they fail to leave....THAT is when I can call the police and have them arrested for trespassing.
I understand people have to work and I give credit to everyone for trying to carve out a living. No, it's not their responsibility. It's the companies for whom they work and that is who I target.
But, damned if it doesn't piss me off when, out of the corner of my eye, I see some stranger walking up my driveway. Where are MY rights to privacy. This is MY property. I didn't invite them to come to my door at 9 p.m. or 7 a.m. or on Saturday or Sunday or any damned time, for that matter.
I resent these little intrusions, regardless of the reason.Raven

I've heard of being a smartass, but I think that went a tad bit over the line. Is that how Vivid treats complaints by attacking the person? Hmmmm....kinda shitty if ya ask me.
Anyone wanna sig spot.......cheap????Comment

They're not flipping through the white pages here, these are prior adult company lists that are acquired and merged and filtered beyond your comprehension. I'm assuming either you or your wife have purchased adult products in the past? If so, I'd say they did a good job in targetting you to sell the product.Originally posted by tony404my wifes first post the girl was not up front about that.

she asked for my husband and when i said he wasn't here she asked if i wanted to take part in a survey and asked if i was over 18. i said yeah..like anyone age 2+ could have.
then some of the questions she proceeded to ask....would you prefer girl anal? girl/girl? interracial sex?
come on!Comment

You know nothing about marketing lists. Sorry if they didn't include an isWebmaster field in the database. You're "in the industry", congratulations.Originally posted by MandyBlakeok...they didn't do a good job considering we're in the industry.

Because it's GFYOriginally posted by MandyBlakewhy are you being such a jerk to me?
Actually, the way they are marketing this whole thing is insanely targetted and they're not cold calling up random households. As for the recurring billing issue you brought up, you're a webmaster and you're complaining about a recurring billing model??? That just makes no sense to me. Anyway, sorry if I blasted you in my first post.Comment

One of my first jobs was calling up Playboy subscribers to get renewals! We had this tag team thing going because they found that men more often subscribed if a woman called but wives wouldn't let women talk to their husbands. So we'd have a guy call, get the husband on the phone and then I'd talk in this sexy voice - "Hi, I'm Corrinna Donut calling from Playboy and I want you!" - It was an interesting job. . . .

I know your from jersey so am i. I also noticed you changed your profile real quick too. If you have no idea what i am talking about then no need to worry.

How the hell can a business model be built around attacking people when they question it?
Not to mention the marketing plan is flawed. Your calling houses to discuss porn. Regardless of how targeted the call lists are most households have more than 1 family member. Anyone can be taking the initial call. A majority of people that enjoy porn do it without their significant other knowing about it. This will just open up a can of worms.
It will take a few calls to underage individuals, or perhaps an influential politicians family (or friends) to put this into the mainstream media.
Just another black eye for the industry.Living in Virtual Reality

you should shoot with them!Originally posted by MandyBlakethey asked for tony. he's not here so they did a very short survey with me. What kind of porn do you like, favorite pornstar, etc. all they did was ask if i was over 18. i said i was (but so could a 12 yr old). then they said for doing the survey they would send me 4 xxx videos in the mail. all they needed was $1 to cover s/h. i said no thanks. then she said actually it wasn't to cover s/h, it was to verify my age so they could actually send me the movies...therefore charge $1 to my credit card. then she proceeded to tell me that after i got those 4 movies i could call them to cancel whenever i wanted, cuz they would be sending me more each month.
now if i wouldn't have said that i would not pay the $1 fee, she never would have told me this was a recurring thing.
has anyone else experienced this?

Who the fuck do you think you are? A business man? Well, you suck at it. You have not only been an asshole to one of the nicest women on GFY, you then seem to think you can say and do whatever you want based on who you think you are because it is GFY? Fuck you and fuck your phone spamming company. You have shown that you are a bottom feeder and that your business persona is that of a nobody fucktard. I don't care who the fuck you think you are or what company you are with.Originally posted by esnemYou have no idea what you're talking about or who you're talking to.
