AT&T Sucks! And that’s all there is to it!

Yea, I’m a little upset to find out, after being a customer for the last 10 years that AT&T can play the games they do and tell you ‘well, there’s nothing we can do about it, that’s the way it is’.

They have lost a long time customer and a high paying customer for sure!

My bill from AT&T has an overage of $550 on it this month.

I called AT&T to find out why. According to AT&T, even though you are IN the US and you are dialing a US number, you are billed for the call AT THE POINT OF CONNECTION from AT&T meaning

Even if you are dialing a US number, if the original number is forwarded to another number, ie: AT&T usually has mobile to mobile free but, if you call an AT&T number that is forwarded to a home phone that is NOT an AT&T number, you are billed minutes for the call because the point of connect is the land line number.

You call a US number that is currently out of the country therefore, the number connects internationally, you are billed for an international roaming call, without even knowing it. In other words, you better know not only who you’re calling but exactly what location they are in when you call them because IF they are NOT within the US, even though you’re calling their US number, you WILL be billed for international calls. That’s not right.

I’m sure this wouldn’t normally be a problem, never has been a problem for me before but is now AND, with Steven being in the Air Force and him making friends that will come and go over seas, should he call a buddy’s US number and that buddy just happens to be deployed at that time, unbeknownst to him, Steven WILL be charged for an international phone call. That’s not right!

AT&T said I should have had the international calling feature on my phone. I told them we DON’T make international calls so why would I have even thought about having that?! I ended up having to put a block on all my lines so now no international calls will come or go from our (cell) phones.

I also asked AT&T if they offer anything or can do anything to let me know if my bill reaches a certain dollar amount and they tell me they don’t offer that. Other companies do but AT&T says ‘no, you will have to check your bill yourself’. Yea, so I should take responsibility for my plan I agree but, if other companies can offer that, why doesn’t AT&T offer that?

Needless to say, I’m not at all happy with them or their service right now and have decided it’s time to move on, even if it costs me to cancel my plan, it’s not worth the risk of getting another bill like this and them telling me ‘too bad’.

What happened to customer service! AT&T Sucks!!!

This #!*@! business doesn’t work!!!

This #!*@! business doesn’t work!!!

My new distributor was complaining: “This #!*@! business doesn’t work!!!”

And my new distributor was right. The business doesn’t work.

So I had to tell the new distributor a story.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You look for the best car for you, and you purchase the car.

Then, you never learned how to drive your car.

You never take driving lessons, you never go out driving with your parents, you never read the owner’s manual. You don’t know what the pedals are like on the floor or where to put the key into the ignition.

The only thing you did was a couple attempts at “trial and error.” You yelled at your car and said, “Drive! Drive!” And your car didn’t drive itself.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

So now you looked for a network marketing business that is good for you. You purchased the business and joined.

But you never learned how to make your business work.

The only thing you did was “trial and error.” You said the wrong words to a few friends and two cold leads.

And your business didn’t build itself. Your business didn’t work.

* You didn’t come to Saturday trainings.
* You didn’t do three-way calls with your sponsor.
* You didn’t listen to my training CDs.
* You didn’t come with your sponsor when your sponsor went prospecting.
* You didn’t learn how to give a “One-Minute Presentation.”
* You didn’t learn “SuperClosing” or any closing skill.
* You didn’t learn about the “Colors” . . . the four different personalities and how to talk to them.
* You didn’t learn any effective “Ice Breakers” or openings.
* You didn’t learn how to get prospects to beg you for presentations.
* You didn’t learn any effective first sentences.
* You didn’t learn how prospects make decisions in their minds.
* You didn’t learn how to get unlimited appointments.
* You didn’t learn how to stop sounding like a sleazy salesman.
* You didn’t learn any of the “sequences of words” to communicate directly with the prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to use the differences between needs and wants.
* You didn’t learn where and how to locate the best prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to create prospects instantly on demand with effective sentences.
* You didn’t learn the sequences of words top leaders use.
* You didn’t learn how to open a presentation.
* You didn’t learn how to build instant rapport with anyone.
* You didn’t learn how to use word pictures.
* You didn’t learn how to talk directly to the subconscious mind of the prospect.
* You did n’t learn why prospects tell you “No” when they should be agreeing with you.
* You didn’t learn the first things you must say to cold prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to locate and create leaders.
* You didn’t learn why goal-setting doesn’t work.
* You didn’t learn how to motivate people.
* You didn’t learn how to get your prospects’ unconscious minds to work for them.
* You didn’t learn how to use stories to bypass the two mind filters of prospects.
* You didn’t learn how to quickly capture your prospects’ imagination and attention.
* You didn’t learn how to . . .

So stop blaming the business.

The business doesn’t work.

You work.

Don’t blame the “stupid” prospects, the weather, the economy, the product pricing, the compensation plan or your sponsor.

If you want to drive the new car you purchased . . . learn to drive.

Obesity raises risk of ovarian cancer

Obesity raises risk of ovarian cancer

5 Jan 2009, 1414 hrs IST, PTI

LONDON: Ladies, here’s yet another reason why you should cut the flab — obesity can raise the risk of ovarian cancer, a new study has revealed.

Earlier studies suggested that obesity raises the risk of womb cancer in women of any age. And, in both men and women, it increases the chances of bowel cancer, kidney cancer and throat cancer.

Now, researchers have found that women who are obese raise their risk of ovarian cancer by up to 80 per cent — the link has been found even in those who have never used hormone replacement therapy for symptoms of the menopause.

And, according to them, the findings suggest obesity may enhance the risk of ovarian cancer risk through hormonal effects, the British media reported.

Increased weight in post-menopausal women actually leads to an increased production of oestrogen, which in turn may stimulate the growth of ovarian cells and play a role in the development of ovarian cancer, the researchers believe.

“The observed relations between obesity and ovarian cancer risk have relevance for public health programmes aimed at reducing obesity in the population,” Dr Michael Leitzmann of the US National Cancer Institute, who led the study, said.

In their study involving 95,000 women, the researchers found among women aged 50 to 71 being overweight increased the risk of the disease by almost 80 per cent.

In fact, a total of 303 women in the group developed ovarian cancer over a period of seven years. Among those who had never taken hormones after menopause, obesity raised the risk of ovarian cancer by 80 per cent.

The study has been published in the ‘Cancer’ journal.
