Sometimes...It Just Doesn't Pay to be Nice!!

Just had an interesting experience which prompts this

Got one of those recorded phone blast messages today, which is
nothing new...I get them all the time.

You know the ones..."Saw your business on the Internet and..."

Under normal circumstances, I simply ignore them, but this
message contained "I'll put $1,000 in your pocket in 3 days"
and other such claims.

My first thought? "This prospecting method could get
this guy into real trouble if he keeps using this..."

(We are all aware of the new FTC rulings, effective next week,
right? If not, download your copy of the regulations here)

So I called him back...as a professional courtesy...
realizing there's a possibility that some folks don't know.

Well, not only wouldn't he let me get a word in edgewise,
it was obvious that he misunderstood the reason for my call
and started yelling about me "opting in". I had no other choice
but to end the call and go back to eating my supper.
{insert BIG SIGH here}

So be it.

I love this industry and will continue trying to help as many as
possible, regardless of what company they're with...

even if the "Mr. D's" misunderstand.

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!!
