[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 308927, member: 14437"] Or better, calling a lead where the person is you name it: Dead, Fired, Retired, Moved, Quit, or vanished from the company years ago. Companies that don't have correct names, are part of larger companies and the lead providers try variations of the company name. Phone numbers that are for fax numbers, disconnected, cell phone numbers for folks that you don't want to know what they do for a living if you get my drift. My favorite is the "Contact is Aware" when the contact literally has no clue why you are talking to them and there are absolutely no comments to clue you or the person in as to why you are talking to them. Or leads that are duplicated the next day. I realize that providers are under the gun to submit the leads and honestly I think that's screwed up. Business Development is under the gun to sell the leads, the Providers (ie drivers for the most part) are under pressure to submit them, and the customers are just annoyed that they keep getting contacted. That's just my two cents, I realize I probably just stirred up a hornet's nest. [/QUOTE]
