I recently heard about a training organization and checked-out their site. A link on the home page to the “Submit your interest form” took me to a page that says: “Limited Applications Now Being Accepted.” Already I feel special.

Their “interest form” has 15 fields, 14 of which are required. There is no place on the form to include a message or ask a question. I dutifully filled out all the required fields but for the phone, I made up a number because I didn’t want a phone reply. I wanted an email reply.
In spite of the fake number, I received a phone message from their Regional Membership Director (who obviously can’t take a hint). Then a few days later, an email reminding me of her phone message and asking to schedule a call to discuss next steps.
