CBSI

I could never truly get my head around CBSI's claim that telemarketing was truly the make-a-comfortable-living-with-minimal-effort job of the future... I mean, most American citizens have just so much capital to blow on non-necessities, and so in my mind, telephone sales calls didn't seem all that likely to significantly boost current spending-figures. And besides, I knew how much I as a "normal-minded human" detest being called at home by anyone trying to sell me something, and so if I hated it that much, most other folks would conceivably feel about the same way regarding it. It's little wonder, therefore, that CBSI eventually filed for bankruptcy (and got in deep doo-doo with Uncle Sam, as well!), just as that same "clan" of shysters who'd been running the company had done several times before with previous "get rich quick" fiascos. Plus from what I hear, there has indeed **never** been even ONE documented case where a person actually made a single red cent of profit at telemarketing; in fact, most of them apparently never even recouped the untold thousands that they'd invested in the computer-equipment and other materials they'd acquired to start their business... the whole telemarketing scam was just a "carrot on a stick" ploy to get people to purchase the telemarketing equipment from the company, not to truly assist anyone to start a profitable home-based business --- the sellers of the equipment were the only ones who made any profits on the deal!
