How Not To Market Your Business 101

So, I was leaving school today and I noticed a yellow stickie note on my driver's side mirror. The note read something like "Please call me about your car!" with a phone number and some initials. Upon seeing this handwritten note, I panic and think someone has munched my car. I get out and do the inspection - nothing. The initals looked a little like the financial aid person's, so I went in and asked her about it. It wasn't her and, after checking the school's registry, she determined that it was not a student, she let me use the phone to call the number. I said, "Watch it try to be somebody trying to sell me something." Sure enough, it was some glass company wanting to replace my cracked windshield. Well, guess what? I don't want to replace it right now and when I am ready, I sure as hell am not going to use someone as unprofessional as you, dickwad! Have you heard of flyers, or busness cards? Assmunch.
