    So sick and tired of SEO sales staff ringing and being so pushy.

    Everyday we get 2-3 phone calls from either SEO sales staff or Email contact database companies trying to sell their services. 99.9% of the time they dont even have a very professional website of their own with very poor optimization on their own website and yet when you say no thanks we deal with it in house they then go down the route of asking what we currently do and where do we source our links would we be interested in outsourcing link building ect.

    They go on and on to the point where the only way of getting rid of them is to be rude or hang up.

    Says alot about your company if you have to cold call companies and be so pushy with your sales tactics, really does annoy me like SEO companies dont have a bad enough name.

    If they are that pushy, you should avoid them, we have found that the pushy ones do not have a clue!

    You could say that, they even annoy me more than them really annoying telesales calls you get selling you free phones. You know the ones where they say you are lucky enough to qualify for this very special offer for a free phone. When actually its not free your paying for the phone in the contract you sign up for just like all the other deals you can find on the internet or by going into the shop.

    If I wanted a phone I would goto the shops and find one or go on the internet to find a good deal not wait for some pushy telesales trying to push you into a rip off contract.

    Which is the same with SEO companies if I wanted to use one I would find one via the internet who has a good reputation not wait for some naf company to ring up.

    Grrrr I hate um, waste my time and their own.
