Looking to get out of your current cell phone contract or find a short-term plan without any carrier fees? Then maybe it’s time to swap.

Whether you’re fed up with your service or just want a new phone, getting out of your cellular contract early can be pretty expensive — but it doesn’t have to be. CellSwapper.com has found that other people are more than happy to take over your contract.

How does it work? You pay a small fee (much smaller than an early termination fee) to post your phone and service details on the site. When an interested user finds your listing, they get in touch and, well, swap you out. After a few minutes on the phone with your (now ex-) carrier, they’re responsible for the remainder of your contract and you’re free to shop around.

Why would people want to take over your plan? Because when they swap in, they don’t have to pay the standard activation fees. Plus, they’re getting the same deal someone with a two-year contract would get, but for a shorter time. And if you include your phone as part of the deal (as many CellSwapper users do), that only sweetens the pot.

To really save some money, you can swap out of your contract and into another found on the site — CellSwapper will refund 50% of your fees.

Like many people, I stopped buying domain names through Network Solutions a long time ago. They still charge in excess of $35 for a dot-com domain and that’s just silly.

BUT, I always liked their batch-search ability to research available domains (before going to reserve them at GoDaddy.com) I didn’t think this was an abuse of their online tools, because I was allowing myself to be open to whatever services and offers they were promoting on their website. They get a chance to influence my buying decision everytime I do a domain search. Apparently, that opportunity is no longer good enough, and now they try to blackmail domain searchers into buying at their exhorbitant rates.

Within the last week, each time you search and get a message that a domain is available, NetSol is doing some sort of internal name reservation for one-year from the day or your search! You can buy the domain that showed as available on NetSol, but if you go to GoDaddy and type it in to reserve, you will get a not-available message. A quick search of WhoIs will show you that NetSol holds a one-year registration of the name — BUT, you can still buy it from THEM.

Bastards.
Why in the world would you ever do business with a company like this??
If I went to test drive a car, but thought the dealership’s price was too high, I could still go buy it at another dealership. All the makes and models of that car wouldn’t all of a sudden become unavailable to me.

So, a failing company with faltering domain sales decides to not compete on service, price, or anything else — they simply make the one thing you wanted unavailable to you from any other source.

Weasels.
Instead of being able to have access to my eyeballs once or twice per week and have a shot at influencing me to change registrars, they’ve effectively chased me away from their site forever and gave me a service horror story to tell everyone I meet.

Great business strategy you bunch of IDIOTS.
I wonder if http://www.netsolsucks.com/ is available?

EDITORS NOTE: I called NetSol to complain, and it seems they are spinning this as a security measure to prevent those people who reserve and then float domain names, cancelling them in time to get a refund on the reservation price. The domain name is actually released after 4-days, or if you call them they will release it immediately. I ‘get” what they are trying to do, but theirs isn’t the best solution.

New Don The Idea Guy project called SalesToys.com recently launched. The site profiles imprinted promotional products and strategies for using them in order to build relationships and close sales.

“This (SalesToys.com) is something that’s been on my to-do list for the past four-years” says Don Snyder aka Don The Idea Guy aka DTIG. “The concept was sparked from conversation with sales guru, Jeffrey Gitomer.” Apparently Jeffrey Gitomer (best selling author and nationally known speaker on all things sales-related) is a client of The Idea Guy, and recipient of some of his more creative promotional toys.

“Jeffrey has always been receptive to hearing some of my wackier ideas. I pitched everything from custom ’sales’ coffee blends to Magic-8 Balls to bobblehead dolls to tattoos. Some of the ideas Jeffrey decides to buy, and some of the ideas just makes just him roll his eyes — but every suggestion is rooted in a strategy to help reinforce his message and influence his audience.”

How does a bobblehead doll reinforce the message of a sales trainer? “Jeffrey was in the middle of promoting his ‘Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude’ — what better way to reinforce the word YES! than with a desktop toy that constantly nods it’s head YES?”

Seems perfectly logical to us, DTIG.
We’ll be keeping an eye on SalesToys.com for more of your playful (but profitable) advice.
