you get a nice lady call you saying just want to see how things are going and can she help I say ok but always need more work she says yes we can help with that you answer all questions and she says its not a sales call but I will just pop you to a college who then repeats all the questions again by now 1.5 hours has gone by Im getting frustrated then the nitty gritty the money talk and conversion rates per advert and they say it will cost an additional £8,388 for a guaranteed 32 extra contacts (calls, clicks or emails) of which only 8.5 may convert into order so basically I'm spending about £1000 per new customer when Im not making this per customer and she wonders why Im pissed with her and all th time waisted?
