You’re much better off asking out single people than married people.
By Bill Quimby on April 25, 2023
Although you may think he or she is the only one for you, and you simply HAVE TO HAVE THEM… there are always more options than you realize when you’re focused on “THE ONE!”The saying about there being more fish in the sea applies to that perfect phone number too.
I can’t tell you how many times someone comes to me determined to track down a number that’s NOT available, determined to make that unavailable number theirs. They’ll completely ignore hundreds of good numbers that are available to pursue and focus on the one that isn’t available. I try to explain that it’s like asking out a married person. They never understand how much harder it is to make that unavailable number available. They are blindly optimistically assuming that because the person doesn’t answer the phone from their area at the moment or they’re not using it for a large business, that it must be worth more to them than the people who aren’t using it much, and therefore must be negotiable.
Unfortunately that almost never goes the way they hope it will, because the truth is that it’s much harder to do the equivalent of getting someone to leave the one they’re with to be with you. That’s why I say, “You’re always better asking out single (available) people than married people. ”I understand wanting to pursue that exciting number but when it says IN USE, that means NOT AVAILABLE.It doesn’t mean try harder.
That then leads to the next point in this conversation, “Don’t let not being able to get the perfect number stop you from getting a good number.”

“Toll Free Numbers is the bomb. I was looking for a special number for my small business and they have helped me through the entire process. Even suggested a carrier for me. And they were right, the new carrier was affordable and very helpful in getting my new number going. Thank you TollFreeNumbers.com.”

“Thank you so much for your prompt and efficient service. Your service was the precise solution to my business need. I wanted my own 800 number and then I wanted to make sure I could use that number with any carrier and this service was perfect! Everything was so easy. Just one small payment and then I have my own toll free number for my business. Everyone I worked with was very helpful. Very little communication was necessary because the process is so easy. Rita, thank you so much for making sure I was informed during each step of the process. When I was searching around for carriers, they actually mentioned your company name before I did! This proves tollfreenumbers.com is really becoming popular for many businesses. I will definitely be sending everyone who needs an 800 number your way. Thank you so much again!!

“I worked in the telecom industry about 7 years ago in account management for mid to large organizations. I worked closely in assisting companies to set up their toll free number. Somehow transferring a toll free number or ordering a new toll free number without errors was about as frequent as a total eclipse of the sun. Now as a business owner I can understand the frustrations customers felt. However, since starting my business I have used www.tollfreenumbers.com as my number one provider to purchase and transfer. I have received the most intimate, friendly, accurate, and responsive customer service. Whenever I need a toll free number I will be calling Bills company, tollfreenumbers.com.”
