(Jesse) Jesse Gonzalez
(Anonymous Caller) Hi, is this Jesse?
(Jesse) Speaking, how can I help you?
(Anonymous Caller) My name is *Bleep* and I am hoping you can help me.
(Jesse) Ok, what can I do for you?
(Anonymous Caller) I am so frustrated with signing up with all these companies and getting nothing. I have 4 years experience, money to carry my listings and I do a better job than all these “experienced” listing agents, can you help me?
(Jesse) Who are you again?
(Anonymous Caller) You and I met a couple months ago at a conference in Dallas, remember….I was wearing those hot pink spandex Capri pants with that black dominatrix leather top?
(Jesse) I am sure I would have remembered that but, no….sorry, I don’t remember you.
(Anonymous Caller) Well, that’s ok…..can you help me?
(Jesse) I just did, I told you that I don’t remember you. In fact, I went online to REOPro and looked at your profile page and saw you have never written a blog, never created a forum thread, never responded to anyone else’s blog or forums, never submitted a question to our Ask the AM…..
(Anonymous Caller) I don’t mean to interrupt you (thought bubble above my head, “but you just did) however, I didn’t know I had to do all that?
(Jesse) Not to be rude (but I really am being rude) however, did you believe simply asking me to help you would be enough to get me to help you?
(Anonymous Caller) I have read some of your blogs and forums and really like you, I think we think a lot alike and I was hoping you could help me increase my business.
(Jesse) Which blogs did you read? I am asking because I have written many blogs on how to get into the business, how to increase your business, how to network and everything else you might need to do just that.
(Anonymous Caller) Well, I don’t remember specifically which blogs but, it’s ok……I know your busy, thank you though.
(Jesse) Wait a second………just curious, did you get the point I was making?
(Anonymous Caller) You know Jesse, I don’t think you were making any point at all. I think you were just being rude.
(Jesse) Ok, sorry if you thought I was being rude (not really sorry, just saying it because I learned from my years working for someone else, sometimes you say sorry just to make the other person feel better about themselves.) but, my point was, I don’t know you. If I don’t know you, then that tells me you’re not very active on my network and from that I assume you aren’t very active on any network or for that matter, getting your name out there and telling people you are the best at what you do.
(Anonymous Caller) I really don’t have time for this……
(Jesse) Then you really don’t have time for success, have a good day, I wish you the best.
The caller missed the point all together, did you?

Google keeps giving it away for free too...They aint doing so bad.....
I still can’t quite get a mental picture of the “Pink Spandex and Black Dominatrix Top”. The only point of reference I have is the “People of Wal-Mart” mass e-mail that keeps circulating…….kinda reminds me of watching my two year old son systematically stuff a full sized marshmallow into his piggy bank!!! Wasn’t pretty……but it was “damn funny!”
Something tells me Greg, If Jesse had met you wearing that outfit that he would’ve remembered you….no really!
On a serious note Jesse, I can’t wait to get the new e-book. That’s awesome!
Tony love your version too!
Jesse--you should set up a pay pal account for STUPID. That way, like a cuss jar, everyone who calls you with inane questions can put in a dollar. Keep fighting the good fight.
