Title: What are the chances....?
Post by: Colin Day on July 21, 2011, 04:37:19 pm

I picked up a few messages on the answer phone and rang back a mobile number that was given to me in the voice mail by a lady. A Scottish bloke answered it and I told him I'd rang about the call I received and he didn't have a clue what I was on about. I told him I was a carpet cleaner down in Cornwall when he suddenly said "My uncle's house is down there and we're visiting, maybe my wife's been in touch cos his carpets are pretty dirty!" He took my details and said he'd ring back.....

When I finished the call I listened to the message on the answer phone again and realised I had rang the wrong number. I rang the right number and got the job booked in and now I'm awaiting confirmation on another job that I "Cold Called" purely by accident.... :D

Don't forget he was Scottish. You will end up paying him a finders fee for the work!!
