Title: approached by phone
Post by: carloso on November 01, 2004, 11:22:55 am

hi everyone

Had an interesting phone call today.

It was from a lady called Yana, who said she was representing a company with exclusvive access to a system  called "Cleaning service client aquissition system".
It is said to be all things to all men (and women of course).
It will solve all my failings in the field of new business capture and improve retention on contract as well as generate more one offs.
Sounds prety good so far.
Anyway,  the nitty gritty was, i could try the first month (of twelve modules)not for  £197 but only £97, no long term commitment, stop at any time.
Well the conversation moved on for about 5 seconds and when i said i'd think about it, she said, " it's not a lot to pay, £47 instead of £97 its only like an advertising spend".
Well that definitly started the alarm bells ringing.

so questions are, for all you brave souls out there


first   has anyone else heard of this

second   has anyone tried it

third  if you did try it does it work 

ps if anyone has got a system that can do all that is  claimed by the above i have at least a fiver i'd be willing to risk on it

cheers

Hi Carloso,

I had the same woman phone me on friday, I was just about to meet with a prospective client at the time and didnt have the "only takes 10 minutes" to spare. she rambled on a bit telling me what she told you, "Miraculous" i said. one half of my brain saying,"this sounds great" the other saying "put the phone down" Instead i was very polite and said, " I am very sorry but i really do have to go, this system sounds very good but its not doing me any favours now as im now ten minutes late for a meeting with a prospective client, it doesnt give a good impression does it Yana?
She agreed and that was the end of that................
or so i thought........
come Monday morning seven missed calls from..........Yana
So you may not have heard the last of her, i stored the number so i know not to answer.

Regards
Dave
