Hi Mike

 

I’m really surprised to hear you discussed our partnership at your recent thinktank. Normally all the other companies trying to do an online business directory just cold call us.

 

Thanks for offering to partner with us, but we really see no point. I’m not even going to ask for a free listing. Your website ranks nowhere, but even if it was above brabys we still wouldn’t see the point, we concentrate on google, because that’s where it is. If yellowpages can’t get this right then I’d suggest you consider the options of this ever working.

 

Have a good week, good luck

regards

 

Noted and thank you for getting back to me.

 

I am sorry to hear that you will not be partnering with us, I will update my records accordingly.

 

We do hope that you will keep our details on file for future reference.

 

Have a great day

 

Regards,

 

 

Hi Mike.

 

Thanks for removing me.

I don’t keep a file of businesses.

This is not 1997, we have google for that now.

 

Regards

Yeah no.

It's similar to a guy I know who really really wanted me to join his BNI chapter. Skip pass.

Yup - when I lived in Pta we were on the same block as some of the embasies for a short while - no loadshedding at all!
