ok, i just posted this from another post on another board… đŸ˜ƒ
ok, i Have my own company. i don’t do a lot of business, so I honestly dont know hwo this happened. but some guy from Larkin something or other called me up and asked me if I was a firm, or if I was a one person business… then I told him i was a one person business, and he said… ok, thank you.
i honestly dont know how he got my number. cause the only number i have on my site is my cellphone number, and it’s my brothers now… not mine.

I often times cold call local competitors acting as a customer and ask for quotes. I know its dirty, but its a good way to gauge capibilities and pricing structure.
