I know that company, and i have a few custys that used them and they said they were crp.

However i do think its a good idear, it  must be able to cover a large area fast dont you think?

yeh it calls a lot of people quickly but would anyone follow it through, when those automated call ring my phone i feel its a cheek they cant call me personally,
advertising is a numbers game so i suppose the odds are some people will say yes  :-\

Two of my customers here in Milford on Sea (opposite the Isle of Wight) told me they recieved the same sales calls. One just ignored it.  The other thought they would never expect to get a call like that about window cleaning - she said she would never go for anything like that. Wants to see who is going to be working on her property.

I joined the telephone preference service and it seems to have stopped most of mine, before I was getting a couple of calls a week.

a couple of my custies got it too (Surrey) , the point is that if you have a window cleaner or dont want one then you would hang up automated or not but if you need a window cleaner then people most probably would say yes , i would.
The customers that recieved these calls say there wasnt a company name being mentioned so that would mean to me that it was a canvassing company doing it which would make sense , i think it is a good idea , only drawback is that the calls would have to be on bought lists of contactrs

It did take a while for them to stop but they did in the end.

Matt it defiantly wouldn't suit me you'd be getting replies from all sorts I like to pick my customers.
