OMG @ not investing enough.....you are hilarious
--- End quote ---
I didn't say YOU were not investing enough, I said it's COMMON and well known that to make money you spend money and that in general if you are getting a 0 return on an investment it means you need to invest more.
--- Quote ---I guess from old posts in which I believe Alice N Michelle spoke about sending out post cards and things was NOT considered solicitation.

That is TOTALLY different, that is DIRECT MAIL MARKETING.. We were talking about "ad's (first Craigslist then ad's in general")
--- Quote ---The thing is the ads are asking for information
--- End quote ---
.
NO Charlene... they are NOT asking for "information" they are asking for a resume and/cover letter Those are the ad's we were discussing! Just because YOU interpret Resume/cover letter as a flier and brochure certainly does not make you right! You like to interpret things to mean what YOU want it to mean.
--- Quote --- The FLIER or BROCHURE is simply ADDITIONAL information that they are getting. My flyer is my RESUME!! It has my experience listed, how many years, my specialties my credentials. It includes everything that my resume does.
--- End quote ---
Again, you are interpreting your flier as your Resume.. that's YOUR interpretation, a Flier is NOT a professional resume.
As a paralegal you should know the FTC law on unsolicited mail.

And what does that have to do with the price of tea in china? I do know the rules/laws on solicitation, both federal and state.. as well as both phone AND FAX! The rules on faxing mean "sending any information not directly requested by the fax owner" But you can let the FTC know that you think a flier is a resume. Go fight it Charlene :) and I never said anything about solicitation laws because we know they are enforceable only by the party who makes the complaint. Unless you are continuously sending unsolicited faxes or mail and the person has requested it to stop..it's not likely someone is going to turn you in.

--- Quote ---LMAO-sending the first letter is UNSOLICITED communication....its the "can I ask you a question" you just did scenario. If you send me a letter asking me you can send me information on my company, the letter itself was UNSOLICITED!!

Did you forget your brain in bed this morning?
WHAT first letter. I realize I have to spell everything out for you.. so let's try this a little slower ... The ad says: " P L E A S E S E N D A C O V E R L E T T E R W I T H Y O U R R E S U M E" IF you have a resume you send the COVER LETTER AND RESUME. If you don't have a resume you can still send the cover letter introducing your business and a request to send additional information.
Whew..like talking to one of my teenagers!
When did I say "can I ask you a question" LOL Now we need to go over vocabulary for the words "Question" and "permission" <sigh>
My opinion is just my opinion. I don't care what you do. But I do believe people should have an understanding of marketing etiquette. It seems to ME you just are baiting me and the funny thing is.. this is based on my opinion to which you asked for!! that is LMAO!
Pay_My_Claims:
No Linda you don't comprehend and its funny....you break down the entire post but you still act DUH!!
I asked you to EXPLAIN how sending a flier that was not requested to a person who places an ad different than sending a flier to a a person WHO DOES NOT!!
How is one unsolicited and the other is not. That is the question.
Meaning how can I get a new client to market to unless I send them information? Nobody asked me for anything. I go online research all DME companies in NC and I send them all information about my company. Even if its a letter asking if I can send MORE information...is not the first letter UNSOLICITED MARKETING???
You keep referring to an AD, and my question has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AD. Its a marketing question. You keep saying that If I send them the "unrequested flier" I am showing poor etiquette and sending unsolicited information.
Keep running around the question that YOU CAN'T ANSWER with bullzhit replies its clear to us all why you won't come out and say even to a NEWBIE that your reply is ridiculous...
Have a blessed day
oh and my Craigs List interview went VERY WELL!!
She actually loved my flier....I can fix one up for you if you like :-)

That right there makes no sense so I'm THINKING you mean.. what was the difference between sending out a direct mail campaign (flier..brochure, etc) than sending one in response to an ad requesting a Resume?
Ok, the difference is the office has placed an ad requesting SPECIFICALLY for a resume and/or cover letter. Direct mail marketing you are still sending out unsolicited mail, however your not disregarding a specific request! The ad wants someone in house most likely so they are requesting the resume to show experience..they are not saying "Send your brochures and fliers"

The offices you direct market too are not asking for anything SPECIFICALLY!. If they are asking for something in particular and you send something else, well that in MY opinion is not following directions! If they ask for nothing, your not disregarding their wishes and they can ask you not to send them any further information.

Wow you really do need my validation don't you.. I HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER it is MY FEELING that DISREGARD OF A REQUEST FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC SUCH AS A RESUME IS NOT GOOD ETIQUETTE. It's like asking a person to fill out their application in Blue ink and they turn it in written in black ink. I really didn't ask you to do this.. I really could care less.. REMEMBER YOU ASKED ME! It's like you want me to say.. Ok Charlene.. no it's not improper in my opinion, you go ahead.. LOL just do it.. don't listen to me.. Again.. I really do NOT care. I offered up my feelings on the subject.

My reply was ridiculous? Are you sure about that.. I was told I went above and beyond responding to you.. LOL
