(http://www.grabsent.com/blog/2014/2/4/building-email-lists-and-why-i-hated-it) - We don’t need your business” is not something you hear often. It’s said by teens behind counters, teens on phones and other people who get offended easily. It’s also said by Lead-generating companies. In my experience (take that everyone read that sentence and thought otherwise.)

“We don’t need your business” is not something you hear often. It’s said by teens behind counters, teens
on phones and other people who get offended easily. It’s also said by Lead-generating companies. In my
experience (take that everyone read that sentence and thought otherwise.)
I’m not one to name-names, especially when I can be held accountable for doing so, so I won’t. But I will
say that this Lead-generating company did not get my business and that none of them should get yours.
Why? Two words: free trial.

Creating an Identity
When I was initially denied, lets just say that I was… offended. After many days of stewing and
programming I realized that I could apply again, but this time as someone else. For the internet is like
any-time before the 1980s in that you can create an identity and get away with it as long as you’re not
breaking any laws. Its difficult to create a name that doesn’t belong to another person, but its not like I
was impersonating this “Jeff Andapolis”, I was a different Jeff, an Ameri-Greek product designer trying to
build a comfortable mouse.
Lets skip all of the dialogue, it was short and insignificant. All you need to know is they took my business
this time and I took their free-trial offer… then sent a crawler in to collect some emails. It targeted the
names and emails. It got me everything I needed.

Naturally Jeff cancelled his account. Apparently people don’t trust those who run/create marketing
automation software, more specifically affiliate marketing programs -- if this is your first Grabsentblogread, then allow me to explain further. Grabspent is a set of affiliate marketing tools which aim to help
empower the marketer/seller with industry-leading commission incentives. And we built it. So if you are a
member of this community and looking to build some leads, I suggest lying.
