Don’t marry the first girl you meet

So many people fall into this trap in terms of phone numbers. They fall in love with the first number they think of and think that’s the best possible number for them or even the only possible number for their business.

Worse yet, they let themselves fall in love with that number without even checking to see if it’s available or possible to get. This is a formula for failure. I often ask callers if they decided what house they wanted to buy before checking to see if it was for sale. Another even stronger way to say it, might be to ask if they decided what woman they were going to marry before they ever talked to her. It’s not entirely impossible for that to work out, but it is extremely unlikely to say the least. And it’s not impossible for you to get the first number you think of but it is extremely unlikely to say the least as well.

While you’re in love with your first girlfriend it’s easy to think that this girl is the only one that can make you this happy and nobody else will seem as good. If that girl isn’t available, it’ll probably be painful, but eventually you’ll get over her, and you’ll find out that there are a lot more attractive girls (and options) than you realized while you were pursuing your first love.

If you’ve got an important decision, it’s always much easier to make if you have all of the options researched in front of you. Whether you’re buying a house, picking a job or even a mate, it’s much easier if you know what all of your options are. That’s why I usually recommend that you use our Keyword Lookup to help you come up with all of the options related to your concept. It’ll do hours and hours worth of research for you in a couple minutes. And even if you still think the first one you wanted is the best, it’s still smart to have some backup plans and know what other options there are for you.

It’s OK to start with your first choice. Just don’t get fixated on that to the point of ignoring all of the other possibilities.

    […] It’s natural to look for or think about something until you find it or think you’ve found it, and then stop looking.  You’re probably only looking for one toll free number, so when you think of one you think you’d like, it’s natural to stop trying to think of any more.  It’s not easy to look “beyond what you see” but there’s a whole world out there when you start looking around.  We also tend to think that, this first number, which is often the most obvious and/or generic one is the very best possible one, even if we haven’t considered very much else.  (See: Don’t marry the first girl you meet) […]

        Testimonial 1807 out of 1824

        as usual your website is flawless and efficient (and obviously still a brilliant concept!) Your lightning-fast feedback and customer service combined with all the value-added services (monthly updates, toll-free birth certificate, user guide with all the great information, etc.) truly puts you at the top of this industry. Anybody would be crazy not to come to your site, search for a good vanity number (or 5 good numbers like I've bought...), and then just get on with their business. Keep up the great work, and as we work on other projects and business units, we'll probably be purchasing more numbers from you fairly soon!

        Sincerely,

        What a great service! The toll free number providers' search service is far more limiting and doesn't really help you get the BEST number.

        Your service is one of the best marketing tools available today. Wharton School of Business studies show that businesses can get 14 times the phone calls by using a vanity number that spells something easy to remember, as opposed to using mere digits. You make it so easy! Thank you.

        Thank you for the excellent service! Your business model is really something to marvel over! The best part of course is that you really care about what you are doing. It is so evident. It shines through with each word on your site.

        "SF Media is a full service advertising agency that specializes in creating results based advertising. The response mechanism that we most often use is an 800 number. However, finding a good, memorable 800,888,877,866 number is a challenge.

        Literally in a matter of minutes we have a very memorable toll free number for our new client insure.com. 1-800-99-TERMLIFE.

        We can't wait to demonstrate how well this number will increase his call volume versus his ordinary toll free numbers"

        It was a shockingly easy process. It still seems too good to be true, it was so easy. But we're happy with the service and were amazed that it was up and running in a matter of minutes, not days. Thanks again for everything. We will definitely get in touch with you in the future and recommend you to friends.onsite, in house remote computer support
