So this guy calls up Geico...

And instead gets my office, and I end up selling him a car! Geico's toll free number is 800-947-AUTO, and my work number is 718-947-AUTO. We get a bunch of phone calls for people trying to reach Geico, so it happens pretty often. I didn't even realize that I picked the number like Geico's when I set it up. He was looking for a Wrangler Unlimited, and has a Liberty lease that was expiring.

That's awesome! Some people inadvertently pick a number that's similar to a competitor (or same industry) just because of such instances!

(Which means you don't have to advertise ... )

That's awesome! I wonder what he told his wife.

"Honey, remember how you told me to get a new car insurance because we couldnt afford our current one. Well, I started by buying a new car. Leaves me with just the insurance to get".
