Don't forget the part where they start insulting you and telling you how much you suck at your Google placement and being found on the Internet. It is a great way to win new business, right?

I do not like it in a box,
I do not like it with a fox.
I do not like it on a train, on a boat nor Active Rain.
I do not like it, Dan, I said.
I do not like them inside my head.
I really wish that they were...
not calling me so often.

I do not love it.
I got a call from a company responding to my interest ... "we know you expressed interest in [blank] ...."
Bull-Crappy ... I expressed no such interest ... let's just get to the lies right out of the gate! So much deception.
No, I do not love it

It doesn't happen all that often but it does. I find it annoying as if you turned it around - how would they like it? Last one was a LO, I should have thought to go to his site, pasted what he wrote me & sent it as a lead.

Everyone is selling someone something. I'm fine with it (whether it's legit or not, I'm interested in the techniques of some marketers), bought $2,000 worth of ad stickers for business from a legit telemarketer who called me out of the blue recently. I think it'll more than pay for itself (non real estate business).
As for telemarketing itself, it's a very effective and efficient way in achieving results. With a data base or leads (I do buy leads for a non real estate business) I'm off making sales and appointments...AND beating my competition royally.

"Love it?"
That not what comes to mind first.
Now, if a business person calls, and THEY are the provider of a tangible service, and they may even be the owner, that is ok with me. I'll listen and encourage them to keep at the grind. Calling is effective.
Unlike so many who will respond, I do not begrudge a business owner the option of doing what real estate agents are often to timid to do, but agents don't describe it that way.
However, those computer generated voices cause in increase in blood temperature. I have played along and then when someone showed up at my door, there was a 'come to Jesus' meeting.
The stage is set right when you open the door and take the picture without saying a word. They know this will not end well for them.
PS: You modified your question since I posted the above response. With the new information I believe you are getting EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVE for playing patty-cake with the Evil Empire.
Agents hire the Evil Empire to misrepresent on their behalf. It is good to know it's a double edged sword. You could choose to rise above and run a business that does not support organization of evil intent.

I usually don't answer my phone unless the caller ID comes up from my contacts list. 95% don't leave a message, and that's OK with me. Of those who do leave a message, most are "press 1 for English" or similar...
No i don't love these calls. I don't even like them.

I received a call yesterday from a new telemarketing firm I hadn't heard of before. They had a lead for me! The cost of the lead was only $97. And if it didn't work out with this particular buyer, they would replace it with another buyer. OK.... not sounding tooo toooo bad. Oh but wait.... Here's the catch. In order for me to get the lead I had to agree to purchase a bundled package of 12 leads at $97 each in advance. HAHAHAHAHA. OMG THAT'S A GOOD ONE! I which these scammers would just give it up. It's so exhausting dealing with the industry on top of weeding through the BS.
