Is Jay Deboilt a Google Slapping Donkey!
Imagine that you are happily spending the evening with your family, the kids are getting ready for bed and you’re looking forward to a nice dinner once the little ones are in the land of nod. Then, out of the blue, a shrill ring pierces the air – it’s your business phone, the number of which very few people have as it is rarely used and is especially for business emergencies.
You jump up, passing your daughter, with her heavy eyes and bottle of warm bed time milk, to your wife so you can grab the phone expecting al hell to have broken loose.
What follows is an almost verbatim transcript of the conversation that followed:
Me: Hello.
Person : Is that Jason Dyke
I must say that being called a Dyke isn’t the best way to enamour me – I much prefer my real surname of Duke over Dyke every day but let me go on….
Me: Who is this?
Person: I am calling from Jay Deboilt’s office and you are having difficulties making money
I was pissed off with a call starting like this let alone saying I had difficulties making money. I’ll be straight here I could always do with more money but as to difficulties earning it all I can say is my personal tax bill in the 2008/2009 tax year was 6 figures. That’s £ GBP not $ USD and most of that was paid when £1 was worth $2! Also remember this was TAX, not income and all of that was made due to me taking a website to the very top, around the world for a few single word phrases.
What phrases Jason? I hear you ask – well how does the phrase “poker” grab you? It’s safe to say I have probably “slapped” Google harder than most!
Me: Who is this, where did you get this number from?
Person: You are having trouble making money offline..
Me Interjecting: Please stop talking and tell me where you got this number from
Person: I am from Jay Deboilt’s office and I got your details from our file…. You are having trouble making money..
Me: Woahhhh there. What file?
I was about to remind this “person” that under European Data Protection Laws that any personally identifiable information that is kept about an individual that registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office, a UK government department is a required. I live in the UK, am a UK citizen, was born and bred here and I don’t care if someone who has my personally identifiable information, without my consent is calling from the US.
Person: The file we have on you that says, You are having trouble making money
Me: Stop talking right now and listen to me for a moment
Person: I don’t like your tone.
Me: You bloody called me and YOU’RE complaining to me?
Person: You need to buy GoogleSlapper
Me: (I literally Laugh out Loud)
Person: Are you being rude to me?
Me: Who are you, what is your name?
Person: Hangs up…..
Now I have no idea if Google Slapper is any good or not (I guess not) nor if Jay Deboilt is truly a donkey but I do know a few things about Jay Deboilt, his business organisation and his business’ processes.
- I know that Jay employs donkeys to make cold calls
- I know that the person that called isn’t clever enough to understand time zones exist
- I know that Jay’s business employs illegal data gathering
- I know that Jay’s business needs help with it’s cold calling sales script
- I know that Jay’s business may preech online marketing but attempts (badly) offline telesales
- I know Jay doesn’t research his prospect list.
And most of all I know that jay Deboilt doesn’t understand much about Google, despite selling a product that purports to dominate and slap Google’s search engine. I say that Jay doesn’t know much about Google as I am relatively confident that if you search for his name he will need some reputation management soon!
UPDATE – Number 1 for Jay Deboilt – http://www.google.com/search?q=jay+deboilt
Yup Jay, you have a reputation management issue!
END UPDATE
Jay, if you read this, you have my number. I suggest you check the time in the UK then if it’s during office hours you give me a call. I will accept your apology!
