Re: Modern Sales Tactics
Its amazing that companies think this is a good sales tactic, but the fact is its like spam: because so many people just don't want to lift a finger to check things out, its easy to rip people off (cf. oil companies by the way).
I've got a friend who's an electrical/plumbing/a/c contractor and I've used him for everything: he gives me advice, but he's happy to have me take him down to Home Depot or the local distributor, use his contractor's discount, put it directly on my card: he hauls it back to the house and installs it. I pay him well above the going rate for the labor because its *cheaper* for me, and he's happy to handle emergencies on weekends (I might have a problem during the Superbowl or his wedding anniversary, but...)
There really are honest people out there. Make sure you network with your friends: you can find the good ones if you work at it....
