I had fun talking to him. He said they were the only publicly owned company, they had 20,000 agents, they advertised on all the big networks and most of the small ones, etc etc etc.

The important thing he said? 'Sure, a number of our leads are crap'

Some other important things he said:

When I asked why, if their company was so beneficial to Agents, they wouldn't take a referral when a lead closed:

'That would cost you more money!'

When I then asked if his company didn't want to make more money:

'We have an exclusive spot on msnbc.com! for only an additional $149 a month!...'

When I told him I wasn't interested in his company:

'That's fine, we don't need Agents, they need us!'

I then asked him why he had called me first and then spent 15 minutes trying to get my business, he said:

'.......'

That was a hilarious way to spend the last few minutes of my day.

They called me also. My cell phone is on the DNC list. So while he was going through his script I jumped on the DNC website and turned him in. When I was done I hung up on him.

Your DNC complaint isn't going to go far...

As a business owner, you are not protected as a consumer under the FCC TSR regulations. Under the DNC you are only protected from repeated calls from people offering office products (paper, pens etc.)

The fun to be had is attempting to neg out the telemarketer by telling him that lead generators are a fraud and a ripoff and letting them twist in the wind.

I figure it costs house values a few hundred bucks for every new person they hire and I can get my money back one new person at a time. (at least in terms of entertainment value)

Do you think it is worth investing on house values leads. They keep calling me and said they will guarantee 6 leads a month for only $360/month. what do you think help....

Reread my post

lmao @ JWRealty

Seriously, do a search on this forum.

If you spent $360 a month on pay-per-click traffic, you should get more than 6 leads.

Don`t forget to mention that HV recycles leads over and over again!
