We engaged in a project, based on the knowledge and resources provided by John Jonas. John got his inspiration from the book "Four Hour Workweek" from Timothy Ferris, which sits on my bookshelf. It's a great book about automating your sales systems and, ultimately, outsourcing your menial tasks overseas.

John Jonas is a mutual friend of David Frey, a great internet marketer and mentor in the Send Out Cards business. John and David actually met in Costa Rica and both are avid users of outsourced labor for their businesses.

Well, I attended John's course called ReplaceMyself.com and learned a great wealth of information that John has compiled over the years. John currently has over 20 Filipinos in his employ for his various internet marketing projects. They do everything from article marketing to website creation and programming to customer service for his customers.

My idea was to outsource a telemarketing campaign for Medicare Supplement lead generation using outsourced telemarketers. We had a great script that works in US based call centers and data from the best lead source in the country, based on referrals from peers in the industry.

Using John's methods, however, we're currently through the 4th person that has not worked out. John says it typically takes 10 attempts to get one really good worker from the Philippines. This article is about that fourth worker - John Juhn Callanta. John's e-mail address is jcallanta@gmail.com and he also goes by lightspeed.networkx on Skype. Using phone number: 09274512515.

So, stay away from these names for outsourcing!

I put his name out here because he took us for $300 or so and did so with absolutely no intention on doing anything except creating just enough excuses and sympathy to continue receiving a paycheck, with absolutely no intention of doing the work. It is hoped that by having his information in the public domain by any means available of identifying him, that others will conduct a Google search for his name and realize that he is a scam artist intent on ripping off American businesspeople.

There are plenty of fine folks in the Philippines; many of which do a great job for their American employers. This guy, though, is not one of those. He is a liar and a crook, so if you found this page through a search - avoid him like the plague, and feel free to write to me for details on his horrible worth ethic and the operation he's running.

That's all for now.. hopefully more positive updates in the future!
