Do you do Biz with Cold-Call promoters? - GoFuckYourself.com

Dusen · 06-10-2004, 07:58 AM

Monday, I recieved a cold-call inquiry from a PPC engine regarding advertising with them.

Although they look decent, I am turned off doing biz with them due to the marketing technique.

Are you sure it wasn't traffic-power.com? They do ppc and search engine placements on google.

BTW they suck ass.

emmanuelle · 06-10-2004, 11:13 AM

Absolutely not!

If they wish to pitch me, the approriate avenue is via email.
My telephone is for my business, not theirs.

It wasn't them, but another PPC engine. They seem pretty large and have a decent 1 word domain.

fuck no

don't call me, and don't icq me unless I specifically ask or am looking....and if you don't know if I am looking or not, i am probably not

PrivateIvy · 06-10-2004, 05:38 PM

no, no and no

Ibill has been calling me and a few other companies...I always know when they have gotten my # from the whois registry because of the # that I have listed there. It pisses me off.

and yes, even if I really like their service, I will not do business with them because of the tactics they use

I'd probably subject them to one hell of an interrogation if they tried that. Like, where did you get my phone number, do you know what our company does, etc. etc...

I wish I had of thought to ask where they did get my number from. I'm pretty free with giving it out, but it would be curious to see what they say.

I've decided not to work with them for now. Perhaps I'll change my mind later.

I wouldn't do biz with my mom if she called me. I hate phone calls.

I don't work with cold callers. It annoys the hell out of me. Just email or icq me with a quick sales pitch. If I'm interested then I'll respond.

I'm VERY picky with which sponsors I'll work with and buggying me over the phone is one quick way for me to personally black list ya, lol

I mean seriously....why would i want to send my hard earned traffic to some random smuck than got my number from who-is using some random script to generate tons of leads.

Meet me in PERSON at a show and prove to me your a good HONEST company to work with and THAT'S how u get my attention

I'm curious how many legit, good traffic volume webmasters cold callers have gotten? Wonder if it actually works, lol
