Sammyg2 - agree that calls to the home are a pain in the arse. What about a legit biz? Lets say you buy a few items from time to time from a company, nothing big in fact you may not even relize that the sales person hasn't paid you a visit in a few months. You get a call from the companies home office saying that the sales person has moved on (maybe retired or got a better job) and that the person you were talking with was going to handle the sales until the field sales post was filled. In a way that is a form of tele-marketing.

Lets say that the rep only paid you one vist and then took orders over the phone from then out?

What if you got a call from a company that stated that your buddy over at another company reccomended that they call you because they were able to help him out and your buddy that that they could do the same for you? Tele-marketing again, just not as obnoxius...
