Why People Don’t Believe Advertising

T-Mobile is a very heavy advertiser on TV. They spend millions to tout 4G speed and low costs. So should you switch to T-Mobile based on their advertising?T-Mobile Apparently, not. The Wall St. Journal reported that they lost 850,000 contract customers this year. You don't lose those big numbers unless your service is very, very bad. What good is a cheap phone that doesn't work?

No wonder people don't believe advertising. You just cannot believe it. Read reviews BEFORE you buy almost anything.

Jeff Ogden, President of Find New Customers, is a customer of Verizon Wireless, and has a new Apple iPhone 4S.

Re: Who hates cold calling? Re: Who hates cold calling? - I saw this and had to chime in. I HATE COLD CALLS. lol its terrible and a wast of my time. Something i have done is gotten online and found all the networking event happening in my area for the next 2 months and i try and go to about 3 a week. Even just for an hour. Dont bring any business cards. Just meet new people ask them alot about what they do, not too much about what i do and follow up the next day or 2. Has worked well
