WOW @ Life Of a Salesman. Could your disgruntled post be because you are not having any success yourself? Hard to believe you are knocking the ploy your company uses to get their own leads. I (as well as all the other smart real estate agents) took advantage of the offer and created the free ad so we would have more presence in searches. The free ad does its job. End of story.
Here's my advise to you....look within yourself to create a positive change.... or change jobs ....and maybe you won't feel so bitter. Hope things turn around for you.
If Trulia.com was so great at getting Realtors leads, and making them lots of money...you wouldn't have your telemarketing scum bag job. The Realtors would be calling Trulia!
