I'm a firm believer that telemarketing isn't worth the time. Your best bet is an effective marketing campaign that gets your name and what you do out in front of as many people as possible. To quote a tired cliche'....if you build it, they will come.

I for one will not do business with any company that contacts me. I know what my needs are, and if I require your services, I will seek you out.

Now, on the other hand, companies such as ours help identify those leads and drive them to you, without expensive marketing campaigns or other shot-in-the-dark approaches that many times only serve to eat away at your bank account for little or no return.

With us, you only pay for phone calls we generate from people who are actively looking for your services.

Telemarketing in Los Angeles in illegal but I still get calls all the time. Before it was illegal I had a automated system calling and had little success.

I have had most success with flier's. I think it also depends on your service or what your selling.

I agree with singlemom58. I know I usually try to find a way to get off the phone when telemarketers call. Try weekly emails or coupons to your customers or even coventions. I think there is a big one coming up in Las Vegas next month... Even sites like Facebook have gotten us alot of customers.

I am on teh do not call list and that has cut the number way down. If they do call I politely say no the first time.
If they call back I will engage them in conversation until they realize there is nothing to do but hang up on me.

That usually solves the problem. If it does not they get reported to the Better Business Bureau.
