The only thing you get from advertising in YP is people who don't know what they want.

 

I want to work for people who do know what they want.

 

The only way I could get rid of YP was to not pay the bill. After a year of chasing me they said it was going to court, I phoned and asked for the court date but they wouldn't give it to me. A few months later they said it was going to court again, I phoned and spoke to someone a bit higher, and said if it went to court I would state the I was miss sold due to the lies I was told by the salesperson who claimed to be a marketing/advertising expert with as much experience in her field as I had in mine. I suggested that she be available as a witness they said she no longer worked for them. Case closed your honour.

As a back up I would have said that I had two ex sales reps that I had slept with that would testify that they knew nothing about advertising, but I didn't get to that bit.

Being mis sold something is a serious misdemeanor, banks are in trouble with it over selling loan protection to those who wouldn't qualify for it etc.

 

I say take out the ad but don't pay for it, if it works and you want another then pay up but all you get is cheapest quote type jobs so they have no profit so the other jobs are paying for the YP ad, pointless. Rant over!!

Ha, funny you should say that Rupe, I did exactly the same thing with YP, after being given the same bad advice...

The 'advertising expert' that came to see me swore blind that taking out a half page ad would net me loads of business - absolute tosh.

They repeatedly threatened court, but never went through with it.

[Rupe]

Sold on lies....

 

They wouldn't stand a chance in court, good for you!
