This guy calls the other day in between stops.  We’re driving seperate so I was bored and answered. SEO (of course). Which, the last client I got I asked how he got the number, he says, “I just googled it”. 
So I’m having fun answering this guys questions.  Then tell him I’m not interested, like a solicitor he keeps trying to tell me why I need it. I keep saying I’m not interested and that the potential clients call daily.  He pretty much tells me I’m not doing my part as a business owner.  At this point, I’m at my next stop, lowered the ramp on trailer and have told the guy numerous times I wasn’t interested and that I have a “web guy” that does that for me. But he keeps on.   Rather than hang up, I just fired the mower up and started the lawn.  

Ive even answered on my Bluetooth a number I knew was a solicitor while mowing.  Sure, they interrupt my music.  I’ll block you later.  Get the hint.

To my defense, I did tell this guy I was arriving at my next stop.  And before starting the mower, I did ask him why would I do business with someone that can’t listen.

If he managed to find you via google, it sounds like his service would be redundant.
