We repeatedly get calls from this number. The telemarketer who calls seems to be guessing as to who to ask for and continually asks for people who do not even work in our office. We have found him pushy, rude and he completely evades all of our questions. We have yet to get his name, even though he has called at least 20 times. The telemarketer who has been calling here actually got mad because I hung up on him (after he asked for three people who did not work here and asked for the direct line number for our CEO and to be transferred to him) and preceded to call a total of 8 times in a matter of minutes to vent his anger, tying up our phone lines and hampering customers from calling. The nerve of that guy, a telemarketer, calling a business like that! Certainly won’t get our business. Come to find out, this is not a legitimate company. All they are is a third rate telemarketer and they do a very poor job of telemarketing too. I spoke with my company’s home office and information has been sent out warning other branches others about this company. If they call again, we are going to ask them not to call again. If they do not abide by our request, we will elevate our level of action.
This number came up today, and of course they didn't leave a message. I did a reverse search of the number using 411.ca and amazingly enough, I found a listing for them as follows:
National Marketing Services Insurance Telemarketing
23172 Plaza Pointe Dr
Laguna Hills, CA 92653-1477
(949) 472-2700
No contest as to whether this is a telemarketer, so in the CallStation auto-hangup list they went. ; )
I have to agree with J that you could have missed out on something great. However, I don't think you're an idiot. It's just that you probably don't know enough about the company yet. I happen to know that National Marketing Services, now NMSDATA, is a firm that foes out of its way to abide by Do Not Call List standards and generates the most dependable leads and appointments in the country for commercial lines insurance. They deal with nearly all of the Top 100 Brokers listed by Insurance Journal.

You sound like a very angry person. I have also recieved calls from this number and found the person on the other end to be very professional and curtious. Now we only have one branch office and told them to take these calls to learn how well they telemarket since we also have an in-house call center. It's very productive and profitable in this downward economic time we are going through. It also happens to be where some substantial job growth is coming from. So elevate away or save your energy and jump on board and be successful too.
