I have to disagree. I was actually "let go" for not making quota. Instinct Marketing is just doing their jobs. This isn't cold calling. If you get called it's because YOU FILLED OUT A PROFILE. I have talked to many people over the phone who were satisfied with Romance Pro's and a also many who weren't. But it isn't a "rip off" or a scam. It just doesn't always work for everyone, and that's a risk you take when you sign up. Bottom line: if you don't want your information out there on the internet don't enter it anywhere.

This is to clear up to Lorenzo exactly how romance pros got your name. Well, first and foremost, romance pros uses Instinct Marketing in Houston Tx for their telemarketing. Back in the fall of 2007 they got a new 5'9 dialing system. Because according to the VP of marketing "there were thousands of unused leads that were a gold" When they installed this new 5'9 system, it unlocked thousands of leads that were in the system, sometimes from up to 4 years ago. So, if you ever filled out an on-line singles profile, not for Romance Pros persay, but anyother dating service on the internet, your profile was sold to Instinct Marketing. Now, since you did not fill out a profile for Romance Pros, chances are that you might have filled on out for Match.com, eharmony.com, or one of the other more popular dating site. And you don't have to fill in all of your information for them to call you. As long as you fill in your name and your phone number, you are fair game to these voltures. I was an employee of Instinct Marketing in February of 2008, and some of the leads that I called were too old to even mention. The straw for me that broke the camels back was when I called a lead that was from 2005 and an older man answered the phone, so I asked for the name on the lead, well, it turned out that the name on the lead was the name of the older man's dead daughter. The man was in tears that I would even call asking for her. So, in the end, Lorenzo, if you are ever contacted by Romance Pros again, ask the person that contacts you to speak with Bill Paye, the Vp of Romance Pros in the Tampa office, or Charles Prince, the VP of sales and Marketing for Instinct Marketing in Houston, Tx. Sometimes, you have to be very harsh with these people because these companys are blood sucking, money hungry voltures. Have a good day.
