Hey folks.
So I recently tried to set up an appointment with an agency I have not done business with before. Went through the usual screening, gave reference material, the standard stuff. Got word back that all my references "don't answer or don't remember". Gave more references, "one number disconnected other goes direct to voice mail".
So what do you do when your references don't respond anymore? I tried calling a few myself and none picked up. At this point with no references I am basically out of the hobby since every provider I would want to see is a decent/smart one that requires 1-3 references. My other agency I go to has done the old owner swap-a-roo too so my history there is toast as well.
Has anyone had this happen? Any suggestions on how to get throug this (preferably without risking my safety/wellbeing/sanity with a backpage shot in the dark)?
