He's not out of breathe he is signing and making rude sounds trying to insult you. He a rude jerk face!!!!!

JV- BOTTOM LINES IS YOU ARE A VERY RUDE!!!

Advice to everyone !! When John Valart calls you just hang up !

I talked to Michael Thomas owner of Mama Ronis Pizza in Ft Collins. He said, "If you had a legitimate product you wouldn't have to telemarket it." I tried to explain how immature his attitude was but he just hang up on me - another sign of immaturity. If anybody is looking for a pizza, I would not suggest you go to Mama Ronis - any thing cooked by such an immature person can't taste that good - he might spit in your food for spite -especially if he didn't like the way you made your honest living - I'd bet he has friends who deal dope to teenagers and he thinks that's a decent way to make a living -anyhow, this is the kind of person who takes the time to mis-use a website like this. Is all he would have had to do is say he wasn't interested and let it go at that - I would have marked him NI and gone on to the next call. But he felt the need to vent his problems and he figured since I was a telemarketer (in his eyes) he could say what ever he wanted to to me - well, baby's cry when there' nothing wrong - grow up!

I was hoping your were mature enought to understand when a decent person communicates with you.
No one can deal with an immature personality - not even the person who has the immature personality.
Look at yourelf and ask yourelf, "Can I stop being so immature and listen to what JV is really saying?"
If not, then you are eight, the best thing to do is ignore you.

Hey John  Your posts are getting really lame please come up with something new other than cut and paste

Sorry Bud a thread is a thread. You're calling people that don't want to be bothered by you or any other telemarketer, So suck it up and deal with the complaints Next stop for most of the people posting here is the BBB  Hope you can deal with an F rating!

I have been in business 9 years. I average 720 calls/wk meaning I have made over 324,000 calls!
323,989 of those calls have been business-like, sometimes humorous, all with positive results.
This proves 11 out of 324,400  OR  0.000034%  people take the time to contact this website to try to slander me and my clients.
If you read the complaints about me please notice I was not abusive, vulgar, or threatening.
Being a professional - I do not to leave important  information intended for owners with  employees as instructed by my clients.
True, I do call until I either contact the owner or am told the owner is not interested in my client's service - that is what I am paid to do. I have learned not to say ?No? for the client. Each successful call may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to both the owner and my client! Still, I have also learned how to take ?No? without rancor.
I always end a call, regardless of the outcome with, "Thanks, I appreciate your time and your friendliness." and I mean those words.
I have great respect for receptionists and in 323,989 calls I have been given the time and opportunity to let them know that.
The 11 who have contacted this website with their complaints says much more about them, than me.
I appreciate this website - it serves a useful purpose when used correctly, which is to inform the public when abusive, vulgar, or threatening calls are being made.
I would appreciate it if those in charge of this website would call me and talk to me and then decide if they should take my phone number off their website. JV

Thanks for replying to my reply. This is a reply to someone else but I think most of it it applies to you as well.
    It is easy, very easy, for someone to criticize another person's efforts.
    What is a person who criticizes a specific person for the deeds of a group of people?
    Here are my facts.
    Read them and hopefully you will come to understand I am a very good person who has raised three very decent children, two are nurses and my son is a straight ?A? engineering student, and am doing something honest and worthwhile to feed my family, who just happened to call someone who has a problem with telemarketers.
    I started my business, calling ?Business To Business? for my wife so if I die prematurely she won't have to go on welfare (become an Obama-nite). I do not call people in their home. A business is in business to do business and, as such, has a telephone in order to conduct business.
    I wrote the software that runs my company (that's right ? I own a software company too!) and I have a routine that keeps accurate track of every phone call designation including one for those who ask me to take them off my list, ?XX?. Of the  324,000 plus calls I have made only 16 business owners, who were probably having a bad day or week, found it necessary to call me back (on my toll free number) to have me take their number off my list.
    I am constantly on the phone that shows up on caller ID (which I do not take off on purpose ? I want those I call to know who I am) which is why I have a toll free number for business owners to call me back on. I do not want them to waste their time or money trying to get a hold of me. It just makes good business sense to do it that way.
    As noted, I call B-2-B for my clients. I am in Arizona. I have clients in every state of the union. How else can I provide my expertise without using the telephone? If you can show me a better way, I'd be happy to take it.
    There are hucksters in every type of business but I screen my clients carefully. Each one of them has been in business over 15 years which, to a normal, well adjusted, mature person, is an indication they have a reputable and legitimate product or service. Each has an impeccable reputation and do not deserve to be slandered (by association) in the website. They are a pleasure for me, and those who I call that take advantage of their services, to do business with. I have come to consider them my friends as they do me. I have NEVER (To use your emphasis) received any complaints from those businessmen who have been contacted by my clients. I have sent 5,034 leads in the nine years I have been in business. And I always, ALWAYS, leave them my toll free number to get back to me.
    You stated ?I mispronounced your bosses name. Well, you mis-spelled mine! Very rude!
    I could very well say the same thing about those who take the time to go online at websites like this but I won't. As I wrote, in my first reply, there ought to be a place where abusive, vulgar, and threatening calls can be reported. I just think you have misused this web-site and I think the owners ought to screen their reported abuse more carefully ? if they really want to provide a reputable and legitimate product.
    If they just want to assassinate people who use the telephone as a business tool then I can't do anything about that.
    Finally, you said it sounded like I was out of breathe. Sorry, my lungs are paying for the years I spent underground working in a hardrock mine.
              I am sorry if I have offended you in any way. Please accept my apology.
JV

Thanks for replying to my reply.
    By the way you have punctuated your reply, if you are indeed the owner of the business I called, or the owner of this website (you didn't specify), I realize you think this website was created, not for people to report abusive, vulgar, or threatening calls, but as a vendetta against telemarketers.
    It is easy, very easy, for anyone to criticize another person's efforts.
    What is a person who criticizes a specific person for the deeds of a group of people?
    Here are my facts.

It just makes good business sense to do it that way.
    I do not, as you suggest, have anything to hide!
    Concerning your statement, ?If said business had a reputable and legit product, they wouldn't have to resort to telemarketing.? I call to generate leads for my client. I received a $2,900 bonus for getting a business owner in contact with my client who sold his business, which was appraised for 400,000 for $580,000. That's $110,400 more (after my client's commission is subtracted) than the best offer he had ever received for his company.  That business owner certainly thought my client provided a    reputable and legit service!
    As noted, I call B-2-B for my clients. I am in Arizona. I have clients in every state of the union. How else can I provide my expertise without using the telephone? If you can show me a better way, I'd be happy to take it.
    There are hucksters in every type of business but I screen my clients carefully. Each one of them has been in business over 15 years which, to a normal, well adjusted, mature person, is an indication they have a reputable and legitimate product or service.

And I always, ALWAYS, leave them my toll free number to get back to me.
    I am not writing this to defend myself, my phone etiquette, or even my choice to use the phone as a business tool. The statistics I quoted in my first reply should have done that! This is a reply to your reply which sounds like it was written by an angry teenage with bad acne! And I can understand how that feels!
    Also, this is not a defense of what I do. It is an explanation because I hope you are a  normal, well adjusted, mature person who can be reasoned with, who, having heard the truth, if you are the business owner, will ask to have my phone number off of this website, and if you are the web-site owner have the decency to do just that!.
    You stated ?You just called at 4:00, and were told the owner would return at 5.  You then call back at 4:15 asking for the owner again.  really??? you think i'll call you back now?? Those words indicates you are not really the owner but the same, hung up person I contacted in the first place! If you are indeed the owner of the business, then you were in at 4:00, in which case, you lied to me??? (to use your punctuation) Honestly, if my calling back in 15 minutes is the reason you are so irate, you really need to calm down! Take breathe, breathe, breathe.
    Sometimes I finish a call, then either go get a drink of water, a bite to eat , or go to the restroom and, since I am 65 years old, and have such a bad short term memory I can hide my own Easter eggs, I forget if I designated the call or not. If I didn't the same number is on the screen. If I did, the next phone number is up. It sounds like I just didn't designate your call and called it again after I took a break. In 99.99 percent of these cases the receptionist is more than patient with me, and I always, ALWAYS, thank them for their patience when that happens. I value their time, and have great respect for the job they do.
    You then conclude with, ?If you are a telemarketer, or more importantly someone who purchases products from telemarketers......YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!?
    I could very well say the same thing about those who take the time to go online at websites like this but I won't. As I wrote, in my first reply, there ought to be a place where abusive, vulgar, and threatening calls can be reported. I just think you have misused this web-site and I think the owners ought to screen their reported abuse more carefully ? if they really want to provide a reputable and legitimate product.
    If they just want to assassinate people who use the telephone as a business tool then I can't do anything about that.
    Finally, I do not consider myself a ?telemarketer?. When I was studying to be a software programmer I hired on as a telemarketer in some of the most brutal boiler rooms imaginable. I know what a ?telemarketer? is. But that is not what I do. I am a communicator, which, I hope, this reply and the one previous to it shows. The only trouble is, from your reply to my first reply, you are not someone that can be communicated with. And IT TAKES TWO TO COMMUNICATE!!!!!!!! (to use your furious and immature capitalization and punctuation)
    I also know this. Communicating with some one who has a serious problem, and your reply indicates you do, only adds fuel to the fire! Perhaps I should have said nothing and let it go at that. I will, instead, as the bible says, ?turn the other cheek? and say I am sorry if I have offended you in any way. Please accept my apology.
JV

I will NEVER call a telemarketer back!  EVER!

If I cant return a call on the number they called from, they're hiding something.

If they use caller id spoofing or other software intended to disguise the origin of the phone number, they're hiding something.

If said business had a reputable and legit product, they wouldn't have to resort to telemarketing.

If said telemarketer feels the need to go on a message board to "defend himself"..........
If you have to defend your chosen field of work............

You just called at 4:00, and were told the owner would return at 5.  You then call back at 4:15 asking for the owner again.  really??? you think i'll call you back now?

If you are a telemarketer, or more importantly someone who purchases products from telemarketers......
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not leave message on answering machines unless I know it belongs to the person I want to hear the message. Your answering machine was probably a general office ansering machine.

I received a call from this number.
I was having a horrible day.
I'm afraid I was short with him.
He simply said, "Sounds like your having a rough day," then said, "Me too, it's Monday," is (the owner's name) in?"
I rudely pointed out the fact it was Wednesday.
He said, "Is that so, then I'm having a great day!"
That made me laugh.
Mr Vellatti's call made my day!
He was funny, hilarious even, and when I stopped laughing, very business like.
And as his replies said,
He did say he appreciated my sense of humor, my time and my friendliness.
Perhaps I can ease the concerns of those who take Mr Vellatti's calls.
Give him a chance and he too will make your day!

Very rude. This Jack@@ need not call us. Again.

Same as above- The guy John Valardi was rude and vague about what he wanted. When I asked if the owner was expecting his call he replied "only if he's a clairvoyant". I was polite and said that I would let the owner know he called and he said "oh yeah you go ahead and do that"

Rude Jerk!

caller id 602-218-8451 J. Velarde asked for former owner then wanted current owner name.  I did not give it to him btu took down his name and number John Velarde.  1-877-599-4539 His Client Paul Sanchez.  Would not give me company name.

I just got a call from John Valarti.  Asked for the owner of our company by name.  Said he was calling on behalf of his client Jim Blaine with Blaine Business Sales.  Wouldn't give any other details.  very creepy vibe from him.

Received a call from John Vallartti, stated he was representing Jim Baling, wouldn't give company name or nature of his call but was insisting on speaking with the owner.  He was a jack*** so I left him on hold until he hung up :)

Well, same as above, John Vallartti, representing Gary Gunderson, stated with Impires Buisness Agreement, stated had personall business with the owner, called him by name as well, even if he did say it wrong, Very rude, and sounded like he was out of breath,

I received a call from John Valartti, representing his client Earl Ingalls.  Very abrupt and rude - he hung up when I asked his company name.

Received a call from John Valartti -  Rude person!! Do not give him any information. He's a total jerk!!
I just hang up on him now.  If a person can't be professional and state what company he's from he becomes a waste of time and air!

Left nothing on answering machine.

this guy was a jerk,and was rude to my staff

Call from John Valartti on behalf of his client Pat Bentley who is in charge of mergers and acquistitions.  Called and asked for our company's owner by name.  Phone number showed up on caller ID as 520-265-4731 but asked to reply to phone number 1-877-599-4539. Really awkward conversation, left no details and would not say what company he was with or what the phone call was regarding except that he was calling on behalf of his client.

I have no clue who this guy is but he always calls here asking for our owner.  He says he is calling on behalf of his client Barry Marter.  He has been calling for over a year, so if he is trying to get his client a job, he really sucks at it.  this is the number he always asks us to call back.  No one ever will so i wish he would quit.
