RealDeal Phil is a very upfront guy and he said he will fess-up soon.. just need some time though. He said he got totally screwed by his advertising publishers/media and considering the fact that the wheel debuted during the holidays - which really killed the borrowers' audience capture. I understand where he is coming from because I'm a lead provider myself. Clients always expect us to hand them gold - but unfortunately, its not that easy - we are in the marketing industry. We can't guarantee anything (closing wise) and it's true what Phil said, sometimes the advertising works... sometimes it doesn't and people just have to understand that's why there's P & L (Profit and Loss) in business.
It was not an intended maneuver.. as a matter of fact, he lost more than the folks that bought leads from him. Imagine having 25 solid customers and lose them all after 1 bad campaign. That means Phil is stressing right now b/c PotentialBorrower.com is his bread and butter.. and I'm sure he has kids to feed and mortgage to pay. He has to start from scratch again by earning clients' trust. BTW Midas, he said he appreciates you for being a good sport b/c you're the one that spent the most and not really bitching about it. Anyhow, we had a long chat but it was mostly lead guy talk... He said he will fess-up soon and I'll let him handle the rest of the talking.
Thanks, Carlo
