Reverse Phone Directory
There are so many things that are available to help us stay in touch with people. These same techno advancements are also available for use with business, especially if you are starting a home based business on a shoe string budget. This is what I did. I got involved in a home base business without any capital or knowledge of business. With the help of my business partner I learned about many things that I could use free from the internet to learn my business.
Once I learned about the products that the company I became a dealer for had I began doing some retailing. Once I had learned the retailing aspect of the business I was ready to begin presenting the business opportunity to others. I found out about purchasing leads through different companies. Most of the leads came with a short survey a first and alternate telephone number and the best time to call. Unfortunately the first set of leads I bought did not include the time zones. I mentioned this to my business mentor. She told me that I could find out addresses by using the reverse telephone directory on line. I did not know that there was such a thing.
She gave me the address for the site for the reverse telephone directory. Once you get to these white pages you have the choice of entering a name and getting a number or you can enter the number and get the name and address. Because this is the opposite of how we traditionally look for telephone numbers it is called the reverse telephone directory. If the number was for a cell phone the geographical location was still given. On the reverse telephone directory the time zone is given and the current local time is displayed. This is really helpful considering some time zones have day light savings time and others do not. Also when you are making several calls it is hard to keep the different time zones straight.
Since I have learned about the reverse telephone directory I have also used it in other areas of my life besides business. If you are looking at classified ads and want to know who owns the item you can enter the phone number and get the name and address of the person. This is a great and handy tool; unfortunately it only has the listings for land lines. Mobile phones are just that mobile so the address is more difficult to track. Law enforcement and the various mobile phone companies have access to the billing information on mobile phones, but so far this information is not available to the general public.
