Evil, RUDE Paid Search Telemarketers

Why oh why do all of the telemarketers who call me on my cell phone HANG UP ON ME after I politely tell them I don’t need their services. Really, I am sick of it.

BLOCK this number in your phone: 971-222-3695.

The woman there “works on behalf of Yahoo.” She told me she had about 80 buyers a month who need the services of buyer’s agent in Birmingham, MI, and that she could place me at the top of Yahoo’s search results so I would get the call. (I think the whole MLS *might* show 25-30 transactions a month in Birmingham, so she must be hiding all of these pent up buyers from finding actual agents who want to pay her.)

I sweetly told her, “I already come up at the top of the search, organically. I don’t pay for search results.”

Click. She hung up.

If it were the first time this week I had this experience, I might not be so testy. I understand her job is to sell me something, but why do these people all hang up? Really?!!

I suggest we compile a list of their phone number right here in this post. Hey, some lead gen companies have done this to me to. I will add them to my list of Evil, RUDE Telemarketers. I think I am on a crusade.

Have a great Tuesday.
