Tim
Bunch

Running my pool business and building my haunt, I dont have time to deal with sales people stopping by the business and sending me 20 emails a day. I hired FearWorm to deal with all that. Last year we went over my entire advertising campaign in one hour on the phone and I was done for the season.

Justin
Cernuik

F##k Fearworm!!! Because of these guys I had to expand my queue line three to four times this  season to hold all the people coming to the haunt. A great problem to have.

Fresh from my University of Texas degree in Elementary Education, she started her media career with a temp job answering the phone at a local Austin agency that suddenly needed help with a large statewide TV buy.
