Hire some student to work from their home and pay them commission of 15 to 20 % of the contract, or try some housewives with nothing to do between driving & picking up the kids from school

We do have DNC (Do Not Call) but that doesn't mean you cannot call.  You just can't call any individual who has listed their number as a DNC.  That doesn't stop the annoying ones.  And I am not referring to companies you have contacted in the past or are doing business with now.  They can call.  And I do not believe businesses are able to add their number to the DNC list.

So, to get around the rule, hire a company outside of the US.  US laws do not apply to foreign companies.  Many of those calling me are actually in Canada.  You can find outsourced telemarketing companies online.  They will do the calling and charge you per call.  They have some high tech way of doing their digital calling so that they are paying pennies per call which keeps the prices down -- that and the fact that they pay slave labor wages to their employees. 

Test them by having them call you with the pitch.  You don't want accents.  And you don't want agents who fail to listen to the prospective customer.  I would also recommend that they do not provide enough information regarding your company name and how to contact you UNLESS they make the sale.  You are not trying to get your phone ringing off the hook with threats from angry people.  Damage control is not a very rewarding time waster.

Personally, I like door hanger flyers offering a free demonstration.  I can hang at least 50 per hour by myself and the cost is minimal.  Then I get just 1 call every week on the average complaining that I left a flyer on their door.

I know far more than you do on any subject you think you know, LOW RIDER.  Frankly, anyone who would listen to your babbling is either writing a book on Living With Ignorance or too naive to know better.  Do yourself a favor....never challenge me by I saying I have NO CLUE.  I  successfully proved your aimless misinformed rambling as WRONG by getting your dander up!

Good luck in taking me on, LOW RIDER.  You have been Ducked!

Duck_Head........I forgot more than what you know on any topic under the sun........but that's just because I'm super smart..................Now as far as Canadian Telemarketing companies NOT having to abide by American laws is far from the truth.......... that statement  just proves your knowledge or lack thereof on such a trivial tid bit of information that you are no challenge at all to match wits with..............GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT DUMB-DUMB.

Canadians telemarketing to the U.S.A market are under the same set of rules set by the Federal Trade Commission under penilty of $ 11,000 per infraction. Canadian companies must purchase and abide by the No Call List except for Business to Business contacts.

There are many loop holes put into place for manouverability.

You really should change your handle to NO-IT-ALL.  Anyone who has bothered to read your over 2000 posts (too bad you don't have another hobby to replace you dormant business) can see that you believe the sun rises and falls on your many years of doing things your way.

The US cannot enforce their laws on foreign companies.  There is no one world order. 

Now, get a life!

Put one more flag up for me, Gully!
