Wow...a little intense...don't sign up your phone number if you don't want calls! This is a great marketing tool for small business owners and they are very attentive to their clients. They have so much to offer with lists, emails, and marketing ideas!

I wrote the anonymous quote and I am not an employee of the company! A***n...if you don't want calls, don't sign up your phone number!

It appears that Constant Contact is up to their ***** marketing tricks a***n, however now they've taken it to a whole new level.  They are now TELEPHONE SPAMMING people!  The Constant Contact phone calls are quite annoying.Recently I signed up for a "free" tutorial webinar they offer, which required me to enter my phone number.  Since then, they have telephone spammed me three times.  The first call was a **** up when they got my voicemail, and on the subsequent calls the guy leaves a voicemail.  In each message he says he just wants to follow up with me regarding the webinar I attended (which is really just a cover-up excuse to call me to promote their service and possibly get me to subscribe.)  In the voicemail the man also says he doesn't know whether or not I'm currently a member or trial member or not, but that if I'm not, I should sign up for their trial.This kind of **** is so annoying and such a waste of my time to even listen to the voicemails.  I used to respect this company and even recommend them to my clients, but with this kind of skeezy marketing/sales tactics, I will likely go back to recommending Aweber instead.I'm sure someone from Constant Contact will respond and say "well, you can always contact us and request to have your phone number removed, or put on your do not call list."  Well, that's also unacceptable.  I shouldn't HAVE to contact them and ask them not to telephone spam me; they shouldn't be doing it to me in the first place.  I know legally they are allowed to because I gave them my phone number and I'm sure in their "terms and conditions/agreement/fine print" it said they are allowed to call me.  That's not the point; just because it's legal, doesn't mean it's ethical. They really need to stop this type of unethical marketing.  Not only does it make them look desperate and sketchy, it builds ill will with****ential customers.  I was seriously considering subscribing to their service before this (that's why I joined their free tutorial webinar,) but now I'm not so sure.  It's not that the product/service they provide is bad, it's just that I'm not sure I want to do business with, or support a company that engages in this kind of marketing ****ods.  And just because others are doing it, also doesn't make it right.Please pass this information on to as many people in forums and social networks as you can, to warn them about this abusive practice of Constant Contact.

Agreed. One doesn't get so****ing for free - and 3 phone calls is not outrageous as a follow up (unless it was all in the same day) - if all they did was 3 phone calls and didn't call back then they are ethical - all companies are going to follow up with****ential customers - its how they get customers. I just got my first call from them - I signed up for the free 60 day trial - I'm already in love and plan to purchase (but I'm using up my full 60 day trial - gotta save money!) to use this for my church's newsletters. Now a month from now I may be singing a different song - If I do end up with issues with them I will try to remember to update saying so.

There was a **** up call on my voicemail from this number.  Search shows the call is coming from a company called "Constant Contact" -- I don't have an account with them, but once I signed up for one of their online "How To" tutorials/webinars and had to enter my phone number during registration.  Obviously they're they're trying to use that free webinar registration information (my phone #) as a sales lead for cold calling.They may claim that they were just calling me to remind me about one of their upcoming "events"/webinars, but if that were really the case, then they would've just left a message on my voicemail about the new webinar.  Obviously they want to speak to a human so they can try to sell them so****ing.

actually, it is not spamming nor telemarketing if you provide them with your name and number and by attending the webinar you agreed to be contaced. According to the can spam act what they are doing is both legal and ethical.If you cant handle 3 phone calls after getting good free advice then you should have just picked up the phone the first time they called....

and don't be fooled by the posts saying how amazing it is that a company would pay such good attention to their****ential customers.  It's very possible those posts were written by Constant Contact themselves (or possibly by an online reputation management company they may have hired to respond to messages about their company/***nd online.)

Constant Contact - Constant is right!  Pushy salespeople who call every day when you are signed up for their free trial.  Should realize that I will buy it if I need it but dont need to hear from you every day - that will turn me off and keep me from purchasing.

Sweet! I just signed up for Constant Contact yes****ay and am loving it - I heard my phone ring and googled the unknown number - at the same time they sent me an email from my account rep. I'm glad that you guys had already posted so I knew who it was.

calls and **** up, good thing I guess... ;)

Yuhp, Constant Contact

Call was from Constant Contact (makers of online email/newsletter software).  I just signed up for a free trial and the call was from a CSR****igned to help me figure out how to use it and design new templates, etc.   Amazing attention from a corporation to someone doing a free 60 day trial!  Who would have thought it??

Yes no panics, it is Constant Contact, a great product, I think I will use it after free trial, only a pity it's in the States not UK

yes, they call and no answer and all i heard was heavy breathing...scary

they call and don't say anything.

keeps calling all the time
