Are You A Telemarketer?

[calveless wonder]

I rarely get those calls, its usually gobs of junk mail from those places.

How fucking stupid do they think I am? I have one house on a 10 year mortgage and the other on a 15, there is a reason for that. I'm well aware that I can put them on a 30 year loan, pay minimal monthly payments, and pay about twice what the fucking house is worth because of interest. Retards.

i'm not surprised you don't get called much. for teh most part, you can get that information and determine you probably don't have a need to refinance....
unless of course you needed to pull out cash or whatever. which is often what people do if they already have a good rate. america's spending habits are a big part of this

the lists i use myself are "very" targeted and expensive so there's more solid leads than straight telemarketing a regular public records list. i don't even have to make that many calls or talk to that many people to find someone who will do business with me.

i used to give the regular public records stuff to my junior brokers...

Americas spending habits are out of control. The only things I've financed are the two houses, everything else is cash, even both vehicles. I cannot even begin to tell you how bad some of my friends are in debt, five sometimes six digits deep.

you're a rare sight man...old school but it works

however,credit and financing are great if you leverage it right, but the problem is people just get the money and waste it instead of going ahead and investing it.

if you can get a higher return on the money you borrow, then of course it's a win win situation. You don't do that by going out and buying a new car or going on a shopping spree for the wife.

a smart investor can really leverage their credit properly

lolol...
point is you can believe whatever you want to believe or perceive whatever you want in your head.

socially programming is a funny thing and stops people from getting rich.

Seems these days we are socially programmed for that very reason, to think that money is everything and makes the person. No wonder so many relationships (business and personal) are such a mess.

See, that right there sets you apart from the majority of telemarketers then. Finding the right people with a need and offering them your service. Can't argue with that.

huh? i was refering to social stigma and social anxiety....talking to a person you've never spoken to before and to ask them questions can be very difficult for some people..especially if it's related to business. some may perceive it as "rude" or "disrespectful", just like some guys who never go up to random woman think it may be perceived as the same thing.

alot of people put up these perceived or imaginary boundaries of "Why" they can't do something.
as long as you're holding yourself to a high moral standard, being respectful and being ethical, i think all that other shit is BS and just imaginary boundaries to your goal .

i am not a tele-marketer, i own the company. lol. my staff is trained to be considerate and professional. lying, rudeness, hanging up on ppl and the like are grounds for immediate termination. i have always prided myself with being the leper with the most fingers. i would ask any business to try and conduct business without a telephone. you will not get very far without telecommunications. i have employed thousands of handicapped, recovering alcoholics, elderly and other disenfranchised folk over the years. i have always put integrity in the forefront of my business. it is a tough industry and i will be transisting into debt collection in the next five years. btw if you can think of another industry where i can make several hundred thousand dollars a year (legally of course) i will close up shop tomorrow.
