Tonight I received a great offer, one I probably will not accept.

It's an invitation to listen in on a teleconference. Between two well-known people. Something I could possibly benefit from... ** IF **

I don't know about you, but most teleconference calls I've listened in on, not a lot, but enough, have never actually addressed what they claimed they were going to address.

Oh, as callers get settled in, they make the appearance to all and sundry that that IS why we are all gathered together.

But, I can't be the only one that's noticed that 9 times out of 10 (I'm waiting for the 10th!), they never actually get around to SAYING, or maybe DOING is a better word, what it is they invited us in for...!

Okay, some would say, "Hey Theresa, be fair!" And you are right, I need to be.

IF one listens very carefully, very, very carefully, one MAY walk away with a kernel of an idea... maybe. You won't really know how to fully implement it, but hey...

Besides, that's not the purpose to the calls.

There's always some "big thing" lurking (I use the word loosely) behind the scenes. That "big thing" they really want to talk about, and get you to buy.

I once listened, heaven help me, for an hour and a half to one very well known and one up and coming "guru."

The teleconference was billed as a "we will tell you, all you have to do is call in" type of program.

Okay, I believe. I call. I listen.

Now, am I expecting too much to actually be TOLD at some point why I'm spending the minutes on my calling card (rechargeable phone

Honestly, even the offer that I just might be THE BIG WINNER that night was not enough to, ultimately, keep me on the line.

Okay, I admit it. I did stick around (you did read an hour and a half!) hoping and waiting and wondering when THEY would actually say even the smallest of things to confirm my real reason for being there in the first place.

I mean how many ways can a person say the same thing over and over and over? And STILL avoid the subject of the call? And how stupid was I to hang around for more?

DO NOT GET ME WRONG!

I am 100% FOR teleconferences. I am 100% FOR teleconferences that actually DO what they claim before they grab huge portions of your evening and your long distance ... for nothing.

AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN... DON'T HOLD BACK! :)

Actually, I'm hoping I DO hear back from anyone reading this who HAS HAD a good experience. I'd even be happy to do a follow up article given enough input :)

But, in the meantime, until I DO hear positive things, I'll probably keep Sam's Club waiting.
