Big thumbs down in all respects.
And they will NEVER stop phoning you, even years later, trying to sell you something.
Awful.
When you sign up to them (whoever you sign up to for a free directy line) you give them the right to send or contact you regrading advertising.
Should you not wish for this ask to be removed from the any yell advertising space (or other company) and be totally removed from all their databases and do not contact you as per your request.
Legally they have to take notice of this, otherwise you can do them for harassment.
Just like any sales calls via the use of yell, like mobile phones - sign up to the TPS and when companies do use the details they find from yell or other directories, get all their details in return and report them.
If you dont they will simply keep calling as you have not requested for them not to, even if you say so over the phone..
I have since seen a massive drop in sales calls i hardly get any now - but it does take some work on your part - So basically how peed are you with sales? at the end of the day they are only door knocking like we would canvassing for business, so the shoe is on the other foot now - see how you like it!
Yell.com are OK for business, i find more commercial clients use yell.com to get a professional company in to do the windows. Those who advertise in yell, have money behind them and are proper business's. It does pay to be in depending what you are advertising for.. If residential then dont bother..
As some have said just 1 commercial job could pay for the entire year of yell advertising. But it could take over 30 residential jobs??
