They tried to take me for a sucker
I got a sales call from MainStreetHost, a company claiming to specialize in SEO. The salesperson was very aggressive and would not let me get off the phone. To illustrate how remarkable his company is, he asked me to type his company name into Google and tell him the result ranking.
I humored him.
When I confirmed that MainStreetHost was indeed the top result, he then triumphantly goes on and on about how MainStreetHost is an SEO expert and how my company too can achieve amazing SEO results. Perhaps MainStreetHost should really Google themselves before they ask prospects to Google them.
I apologize if you’re reading this entry again because you have seen it from my Blogspot, but this company annoyed me by trying to take me for a sucker. Don’t companies realize that satisfied customers tell about three of their friends while unsatisfied customers tell about ten? But that statistic probably came out before the advent of the internet.

He's gotta be the best salesperson I've ever heard of in my life. So confident!
Fail.
Haha... what a tool.
So post-advent of the Internet, unsatisfied customers will tell 10,000 people instead?
Statistically, New Yorkers are 85% likely to hang up after the 5th word if they're not interested.
LOL
haha! and duh! owning the domain mainstreethost already helps a lot with seo, not to mention the fact that no one else out there uses the term mainstreethost.
then again, some people don't do simple google searches to get some info. what a scam artist! that is hilarious.
Haha how funny.
