Lori Gutbrod, president of Advantage Research, sent me an email this morning assuring me that I would be removed from their list. In the past three hours since receiving that email, I have gotten two calls from Advantage Research. Apparently their definition of removing someone from their calling list is to increase the frequency of the calls.
It's from a marketing research company called Advantage Research. They call to ask you opinions about products or services you may have received, so that they can go back to the company and tell them what kinds of things their customers are saying so they can change it and make it better. They never try to sell you anything, and sometimes even give you money for your opinions if it's that kind of study.
It's actually kind of fun taking surveys, especially if it is about a service you were especially dissatisfied with. Then you can bash them all you want and know it will get back to the company without being attached to your name, and hopefully they'll whip themselves into shape to better serve you!
If you don't want to participate in the survey, you can just answer the call and ask to please be removed from the list. Simple as that =)
These guys don't give up until you yell at them. they even are calling on my cell phone because that was the contact number that I gave them. Quick stop was to answer and tell them that I will not participate in any services or surveys. Haven't called in several weeks now.
Don't ever call me with anything at almost 9pm. That is rude and unnecessary. Some of us have to start our days at 4am. I do not want any calls for my opinion etc, I have not purchased anything I need to talk to anyone about. Leave me alone!!!!!
