Re: Gimmicks to Increase Business - $500 Free Groceries
A friend of mine does PI work... not always the Magnum PI chasing down bad guys... usually chasing down white collar junk like what's mentioned in this thread. If this program is legit it's one of a very small percentage that are. It may be promoted by someone reputible but the company that actually administers it is totally fly-by-night. Probably running out of a basement somewhere. If any of them ever got big enough they'd have a Dateline NBC camera in their face.
In reality, they shut down, change names and move on regularly and it's basically a load of BS. I'm sure the rah-rah-rah guys peddling it would disclaim any association to the companies when push comes to shove.
Surprisingly, the crowd standing up for it has about 3 total posts between them. What's that I've heard about a free lunch? I'd be totally embarrased to peddle this crap to my clients. I survive on referrals from past clients and industry professionals (yes, lots of agents) becasue I do a good no nonsense job. Junk like this makes our industry look like used car sales.
