Times are hard, and some agents work harder.
For example, take Chris here, who I just spoke with on the phone a few minutes ago. I live in Florida, but he sent me a random email, six times, asking me if my car can handle 40,000 a year. It worked, my curiosity was piqued. Did he know me? Had I wondered about properties in his area? Maybe, somewhere, I'd filled out an interest card and he was following up. But this was not the case. He "collected" email addresses from various "places" and "made his own" list. I wonder how I got that lucky. I got to report him to my email provider as a Phisher SIX TIMES! Whooo! Sorry Chris, this is why you should look before you leap and get a lot of annoyed phone calls and emails about your "marketing" techniques.
