Anyone else getting harassed by Service Magic and other directory sites?
They sound hungry. Even after you explain that they should be paying you they come back with ever more creative angles… a conference call with a VP to discuss a joint venture was the last one…
Now that is taking liberties during a sales call. I smelled a rat early and cancelled the call.
It wouldn’t surprise me if our site gets more actual visits than theirs does…
Any war stories?

just that if ya emailed for more info about 2 years ago ...
they'll keep on calling.
I still one day may give them a shot, but I tell them each time I'll call them.
Do gotta give them credit for not giving up.
I've read alot more bad stories about them than good stories ...
but I've also read alot more bad sales job stories then I have good.
so until I give them a shot myself ... I'll never know if they send and charge for crappy leads ... or if the story tellers I've heard from just can't close the deal?
I wouldn't bet or invest too much to find out though.
might actually give them a shot if I land the nice job I just proposed.
if that goes thru ... I'll have a little extra time and money to give it a shot.
maybe $500 worth to gamble big.
we'll see.
I did tell the guy I read bad about them here ... and he agreed to adress my concerns and change the standard agreement a bit ... but again ... that was over a phone call and not at contract signing time. I'm curious more than anything.

I found SM to be more annoying then helpful. Ask for roofer and two of three references were painters, not roofers.
But I am getting harrassed by the local wannabe newspaper (Gwinnett Dialy Post). They use to throw their trash onto my lawn or driveway a couple of times per week, but now its f-ing daily.
What a waste of raw materials. I consider it littering, and I've asked twice that they stop--no deal.
