Cold Calls

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Mr Butts,

Call me naive, but could it be worth a go? The site looks decent, and I was offered a year's free listing (minimum charge for a 'bronze' listing seems to be USD 150 for 12 months..) - Could this be our big debut on the US market? I'm all for some corporate expansion!

The site has been around since 2003 and if they are offering you a free one, go for it.........they want cash from me via a cold call :twisted: :twisted:

Cash? Ah, that's an entirely different tea bag..maybe I didn't give the woman enough time to spit the 'c' word out...

I have just had one from Always Vacations. I said I wasn't interested, put the telephine down, and picked it up about two mins later to call my mother. She was still babbling away. I am registered with TPS in the UK, but I suppose that doesn't stop unscrupulous companies calling us from abroad.

Gloria, people/companies who phone you trying to sell you things that you did not ask for or do not want.

Yes, starnge isn't it? I get far more cold calls when I'm in France than I do in UK. In UK I hang up after a terse grunt, in France I say I don't understand :wink:
