... say "no thanks" and hang up.
That is, unless you're useless at doing your own keywords and SEO. But if you are I would recommend contacting one of the known people on GFY who do that for people. (me for one)
I get a call just now, can't recall the fellow's name. At first listen I can tell he's in sales and is obviously a talker... no problem so far. He tells me he is looking at my old casino site (a site that I have not promoted or done anything with in the past while, for a few reasons I won't get into). I tell him a little bit about the history of the site and it's status is now, after which he goes into his shpiel about what the company he works for does.
Ahh, they are a SEO company, apparently providing first page spots on various search engines for targeted keywords..... something that I have done for myself since day one. However, thinking like a businessman, I am thinking that I would like him to send me an email with their urls, prices, and all of their pertinent information to me.... because if I like what I see then maybe I can refer them some new business from time to time and maybe make the odd referral commish. I also query him as to what other services they offer.
I ask him if he would be willing to send me that email. He sidesteps that request and again goes into his shtick, this time going a lot deeper with the hard sell tactics.... I listen, respond a bit about what he's saying, then again express my desire to consider other business options besides me buying their service (of which I have no interest)..... whereupon he..... and this is the kicker.... goes absolutely APESHIT on me.
I'm talking flat-out yelling like a raving fucking lunatic.
The guy's voice goes up several octaves, says he's tired of wasting his time on me, cocks off at me about being "#1 in sales in his office, says "either I refer you to my manager for further information or I'm wasting my time" "I don't send Emails to people like you, either you......." blah blah blah....... "I MAKE PEOPLE THOUSANDS!" ... "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY THEN..." ... "I DON'T HAVE TO SEND OUT EMAILS TO PEOPLE, I HAVE CLIENTS WHO MAKE A POSITIVE DECISION RIGHT AWAY" ..... etc etc on and on.
I'm standing there smiling, thinking "
the people around him in his office must think this chump is one click away from commiting a mass murder followed by a suicide." I was utterly calm all through this whole thing, I never raised my voice once, and after he finally calmed himself slightly he asks me (after a few seconds of silence) "Well? Where are we at?"........
I say "you tell me, you're the one doing all the yelling" :D
He says "What's it going to be?"
I say "Oh, we're way past that. I'd say we're done, wouldn't you?"
He says "I guess so"
Me: "Best of luck with the attitude"
*click*
Have you been called by these twits? Obviously he was out trolling for websites and found mine, certainly he could fine some of yours eventually. Just be warned... the guy is a fucktard, and as far as I'm concerned only a POS company would hire him.
"First Place" is the name he gave me. This is the website he had me look at during the call...
