Network Marketing - Cold Calls and Automated Calls

I keep getting calls from network marketers and people in MLM. It gets very annoying. They get my phone number off of my replicated MLM website and think that gives them permission to call me.

Just as bad or worse is some of them put my number in an automated caller. That means they record a greeting and then it just calls me with no way for me to get out.

I received one today, just a couple minutes ago. At least he was nice and accepted my no and didn't try to tell me that I had no dream or that I just didn't want to be successful.

Yea, I had that happen. What a great way to try and lift yourself up by tearing someone else down. And he wanted me to join him?

Most people that I talk to who do cold & automated calling, say it doesn't work. So why do people keep trying it?

The ones I love are the people that call and say, "what if I could show you how to put an extra $10,000 on your table next month".

Of course I laugh because they can't do it.

If they could make money like that, that easy and quick, then why would they be calling me?

My guess is that they think I'm that stupid, I don't know.

The only way they can make that kind of money is by getting me to pay for something.

So now when they call, they say, let me ask you a question and I say no.

It throws them off, you should try it. Some people keep talking then stop. Some say huh? I didn't even ask you the question.

I learned that they are going to call, so I might as well have fun with them.

One of these days I will tell them what they should be doing instead of these cold calls that don't work.

The Lesson To Learn

The main thing to learn out of my rant is that you want to attract your customers and prospects. Doing things that send them running just is not the way to go about it. Not only that, but doing this failure way only has you wasting your time and resources.

Oh, by the way, don't ever give them your email address. This one guy was so shocked by how well my website did in the search engine, he wanted more info.

So I said I would email him. Next thing I know, I end up on some guys email list and couldn't get off.

I tried everything so I just started marking it as spam.

Feel free to leave comments about your experience with these cold callers. Have you been able to convert them to the best way to market?
