Yes, they are calling me again. This time the telemarketer could barely speak English. I had to ask her 3 times to tell me who she was with. I could not understand her the first 2 times. Terrible telemarketers!!
They made many attempts to reach me and once I decided to listen, I found the company had something of value for add to our existing marketing strategy. I am not saying Vocus is for everyone but we found their software useful.
If that doesn't sound like a paid for comment - well shoot me in the foot.
Who say's : " ...I found the company had something of value..."
People - realize there are companies who take payment to write reviews for businesses - both good for the hiring company - and bad for their competition.
I'm surprised "Billy" didn't give us his/her telemarketers name.
Just my opinion - I am not always right... just skeptical because of language.
I previously reported that this is a legitimate company, and this true, but they must have hired a telemarketing staff recently. Dan P. Dava got through to me on July 10. He called because I signed up for a free white paper about one year ago. I told him we're not looking to do anything right now and that I will get back to him if/when the timing is right. He sent me an email with information about Vocus.
Since July 10, he has been calling twice a week, always before 7:00 a.m. I've let the calls go to voice mail, until this morning. This morning I answered with "what time is it?" and he said "9:48 eastern...oh I'm so sorry I woke you up...I'm looking for Karen" and when I said "I'm Karen", he launched into his exact same script from when we first spoke. I told him he had already emailed me and I reminded him of what I said, and the whole time he denied that we had ever spoken. So I went to my computer, forwarded the email from him back to him, and he acknowledged finally that we had already spoken. I told him again that I do not want to speak with him now, and he started back into his spiel about our website. I yelled at him and hung up. Now, because of this unprofessional and unintelligent person, I will NEVER do business with this company EVER.
THIS belongs to a business in Maryland, called Focus. Is a PR WEBsite firm who does SEO work with Press Releases. If you have a blog, or some Pres Release out there with you name on it, They will call you looking to get you to spend money with them....
I finally asked them to put me on their "no call" list, which legally they are suppose to stop calling. I continue to get calls. Honestly, at one point considered buying their service but am glad I did not. I do not want to be a part of a company that calls relentlessly. Plus, they eventually hired foreign companies to make their calls and I could not understand him at all with the very heavy accent.
