Then, I see those same people spending a lot of time posting on GFY or Facebook, for example. It may be on their own personal time, but not in the case of those posting here all day long everyday during their usual "work hours".

Those people/companies I simply blacklist; if they don't want new business, screw them.

I've always thought the majority of company reps were useless to begin with, but now the valuable ones are even fewer and further between - not like owners are any better at replying lately, either
Exactly, that's the part that pisses me off more. They are here on GFY talking about their new promo's, then they buy advertising everywhere. Announce if anyone needs anything to simply email them. I always go to their site first, look for a phone number and call. I have never been able to reach anyone lately. For every email I send, it takes 5 - 9 days for a reply. My fricken email comes to my cell phone.

The part that really fucks with me, I tell them I have something for them. It's not like I am selling them something. Its like me telling them, hey what's up. Want to make an extra 100K a year. As if I'm kissing their ass to make them more money. But again, maybe nobody gives a rats ass anymore. And the ones that do, will be the ones that will ride this wave through.
