Yellow Pages

Posted by Colin Cross on September 16, 2010 at 12:26pm
Hi EveryoneI have a free line with yellow pages and get about 15 calls a year. A few years ago I had a small box with then and it cost me £250.00 a year and got about 5 calls. When you look in the local yellow pages you can see why 70 adverts. So i just kept the free ad. I had a call today from a rep and he asked me why I did not have the paid advert. I said lack of calls. He said that the free line for advertisers was being take out of the book. So would I now like to take out a paid advert at only £200.00. I said no I do better in church magazines at £30.00 a year. Has any members had telephone calls recently from yellow pages like this.regardsColin

    Get ready for a few salespeople calling you, maybe every hour every day for the next 8 weeks.

    My favourite one is to answer, let them ask for a name etc, say 'hold on, I'll just get them' and put the phone down on mute with the line open.

    Got call waiting so if anyone else calls while I'm wasting their time, I can see who it is as well.

    Normally after about 1-2 minutes they give up...

    Like you Gary, my response just depends on my mood ...
