My 1-800 CRYSTAL BALL is broken

I often get asked “How hard will it be or how much would it cost to get a specific number?”
Bill in Crystal Ball

That’s a hard question to answer without a crystal ball or some extra sense I guess I don’t have. It’s kind of like asking someone how hard it will be to get a particular girl to go out with you or even to marry you without even knowing if they’re seeing anyone or any information about them.

Unfortunately there’s no way to tell ahead of time. You can’t tell whether they’ll ultimately go out with you or marry you without doing all of the work to get up to that point of doing it. You can ask them out of the blue but it’s often not easy to get even get to the right person that’s able to make that decision and if you just ask them outright, you’ll usually just get a knee jerk response of no. It takes quite a bit of tact persuasion and effort to get to their final answer.

Actually now that I think about it I can tell you how hard some numbers will be. That’s the point of showing the Resporg Locked numbers. Those numbers will be somewhere between Super Hard and Impossible, generally leaning more toward the impossible. But aside from that there is no litmus test to see if someone will go out with you aside from asking them and there is no way to tell ahead of time whether someone will sell you their number or not and how much it would be. It’s a simple question but there is no simple answer.

Just like that girl that said no though, the answer could change if you ask at the right time, or if you do your homework and have the right offer too. That’s why we do our free monthly monitoring and searching for so many clients too. I know you want something right away (I didn’t fix the crystal ball, everyone always needs it yesterday) but again when you narrow your field down to just one particular girl, you almost certainly aren’t going to get that number quickly unless you throw way too much money at it.

I also have to point out again that although we have some tools to help you track numbers down and offer more advice about this than anyone, we do NOT act as bounty hunters and try to get other people to sell you their number. We act more like real estate agents and help you find other good numbers that are much more readily available. We work that way for several reasons, not the least of which is that most clients don’t realize how hard it is to get the number they picked out of the blue before even checking to see if it’s available. We’ll help you get some reasonable alternatives that are more readily available, and maybe a backup number in case she says no or to make it sound like you’re not so desperate in the negotiation. And most of all, we’ll be here for you when you realize that the first girl you dreamed about and fell for isn’t available.

    The way everything is explained and the way the industry secrets and misdeeds are revealed, really made me feel confident in becoming A patron of your firm. I sincerely appreciate how up-front and honest you are about every aspect. I won't even think of using any other firm in the future. And that really simplifies things for me and my staff.

    We set up computer networks for small to mid-sized businesses. A potential new client has a mostly Macintosh environment. They called us and we went out to do an evaluation of their network. We then sent them a bid. I know they were getting bids from other companies, and I felt we were maybe not in
    the running for their business (we primarily work with Microsoft networks but also do Macintosh based networks). The company they said they may go with was an all Macintosh service company. I told them to give me a call at 1-800-MACINTOSH when they decide either way. She seemed very surprised that that was our number. That was yesterday, today she called and wants to work with us!!!!! I don't know if the number gave us some credibility, but it
    sure didn't hurt.

    Bill is professional and trustworthy. I don't need to pay rent for a toll free number while I can be a true owner of it. It is economical and a good investment.

    I love your website. I got a great number with it, but I've also been looking for something that I thought I could do while working my day job just to bring in a little extra income and this looks like it. I just want to say thanks for your thoughts and help on this.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your service and what you guys do in general. It is near to impossible for me to get vanity numbers for our customers – they are all happy once they have gone to your site.
