It’s good to know that there are ways out there to stop collection harassment for good because with today’s economic turmoil just isn’t getting any better and more and more people are getting deeper and deeper in debt and debt collections has turned into a major big business because of that fact.

My sister has had to get legal assistance in her effort to stop collection harassment California  style since her husband got laid off just last fall and it doesn’t look promising in that he will be landing anything decent any time soon. Even the fast food restaurants have started to cut back on hiring a lot of folks that normally turn to a stent at fast food in between other higher paying positions in various fields.

My sister has even considered a short career in exotic dancing in an effort to keep the mortgage paid and not lose the house. She used to dance in between high school and when she went to college. She did pretty good but I don’t think her husband would be thrilled with her taking to the stage now that they are married with children. But some times you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

In many businesses, the company depends on sales. And sales depend on good leads. I don’t know anyone who enjoys making cold calls; many consumers don’t appreciate being interrupted to listen to a sales pitch for something that they have no interest in buying. That’s one good reason to do business with a company that provides good quality warm leads to the sales force.

I have a couple of friends that are in the life insurance sales business. There sure seems to be a lot of competition in that market! One of my friends told me that his company makes him just call people out of the telephone book to try to make appointments. I know that there are companies out there that will do that kind of telemarketing for you so that when the agent makes the call to the customer it is a a warm insurance lead. To be perfectly honest I think that all sales companies should do that.

I came across this post from 2008 and wondered why I never heard that the car I wrote about below actually coming out onto the market. Do you know if it did or not?

I was reading on the Discovery Channel’s website that a new car will be hitting the market later this year.  It is a flying car!  Basically it is a plane that has wings that can fold up so that you can drive it home and park it in your garage.  It will fly for 500 miles on one tank of regular unleaded gas!  Now I think this is a really awesome creation, and I’d love to have one!  (I’d also like to get one of those car-boat things that were sold back in the 60s! – oh, and a hovercraft!)

Anyway, it will retail for (are you sitting down?) $194,000!  I think I’ll have to wait a few decades for the price to come down!  But it sure would be really awesome to own one of them!
