    Spec me a life

    You can go to university and join the police. I know that Teesside University offers police studies or something like that. It's for people wanting to join the police (obviously). http://www.tees.ac.uk/Parttime_courses/Law/FdSocSci_Police_Studies.cfm If you do that you can go to university and...

    Door-to-door/ field sales agency

    I think the cobra group also do work for charities like the wwf and the red cross. If you ever see a person coming round your house to get you to sign up through direct debit to donate to charity it is probably them. If they do get you to sign up the company gets £55 and the salesman gets £28...

    Scrap All Income Tax & Capital Gains Tax

    I don't see why a consumption tax wouldn't work. I think there are one or two states in america that use it. All you have to do is just put a higher tax on more expensive goods anyway. For example - just put a penny tax on anything below £5 - that would save the poor. You can then add more on...

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    You can only concentrate on value when you have the money to concentrate on value. I only have the money to go for the telemarketing equivalent of Aldi at the moment (price-wise not value-wise). If I had the money I would spend as much money as possible.

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    It turns out I am probably not going to use the Indian call centre. I have had a talk with Mr Wizard and I might be giving him a try.

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    Thanks for the offer - I might PM you later in the day. At the moment I am waiting for 2 important calls. Has there actually been any research that shows that Indian call centres get worse results than British based call centres?

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    I didn't pay for the data. I found it myself and it took ages - much longer than I thought it would. This is how I find my contacts - seeing as I do background checks on job applicants - I look for companies who are recruiting. The best place to look is the job centre website. This contains the...

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    All of these are fresh leads and every single one of them are recruiting staff. They have also advertised job vacancies in the last 2 weeks so there's a good chance that they might want a background checking company if they are told how they can benefit from it. A lot of people might hate call...

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    I should hit myself for not understanding. I thought all telemarketing companies would be the same though? For instance if they quote £600 and only speak to 50 of 330 they still charge £600. What's so different?

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    They did ask for a script so I assume that they will be talking to them. What would be the point of phoning and not talking? I don't think any company would do that.

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    I think the telemarketers are in india which is why it is so cheap. I think because because of that they could get through the list completely. Maybe I'm being naive but I don't think so.

    Telemarketing - Is this a good deal?

    I think its a fantastic deal and they do have a base in India. Even if they don't sell any I still haven't lost much money so I am not risking much.
