I get it guys, we're all here to make money. To make money you've got to be an aggressive lead generator. Hell, i've built my career on lead generation.

But we all hate spam.....but to be honest, if the spam is good, I'm not really that mad at it. But if the spam sucks, it makes me want to throat chop you. Not because you're spamming me, because you're spamming me with suck crappy spam.

Whatever this version of spam is, I see people doing it a lot. It's the crappiest spam I've ever seen. You're cold spamming me asking me questions like I'm on a friggin job interview or something. At least look at you the person's profile or google them or something. 

What in the world would compel someone to engage with this obnoxious line of questioning?

TLDR --- If you're gonna cold contact people, at least make your contact decent. This is bad work out of this guy.

The loan request spam both via text and long voice messages drives me absolutely insane. Much rather get spam through email or online messages but seemingly most of the junk I get is on my phone which is even more infuriating.

      For real man. If you wanna make your pitch, take the damn shot bro. You think i'm gonna waste my time playing 20 questions with you 1st?

      Just come out with it and shoot your shot. Come out with what you're offering, it'll either pique interest, or it won't.

      @James Wise I get them as well. The worst site is LinkedIn - I don't bother accepting new connections because they just spam the heck out of you

      i love the ones "what do you do" - I reply / read my profile and make an effort before a cold outreach.

    Haha, I got a text yesterday.

    "Are you interested in selling your property?"

    I'm bored so I say sure. What's your offer.

    "Please describe the property for me".

    My reply, what friggin property are you talking about. I have many. I don't know how you people actually

    find people stupid enough to work with you.

    "I'm talking about the property at 234 Main St."

    Ok, yeah, that one isn't for sale...

      I think a lot of these are dump and dump due diligence loan fraudsters.

    I got this one today....Although im not interested in what this person is offering, this doesn't bother me. No time wasted. They immediately got out what they're offering. To me, this is fine. You took your shot, maybe it works maybe it doesn't, but you're not wasting my time with some nonsensical line of questions before getting to the damn pitch.

    What's ironic/sad about the 'spam is'.. lots of mom and pop shops pay big fees by tech companies advertising 'the best promo'.... Circle of life.
