I was eating lunch today and got a call. Some place in Texas that claims they do printing for green industry companies. First thing I said "I'm sorry but I doubt you could do what I want, I'm a small company and don't require multiple dozens of hats" he says "Oh no sir we do orders for small and medium businesses only" He then explains his special offer of 8 dozen hats for 600 dollars :hammerhead:
I'm sitting here watching my food get cold while this guy works himself down to 2 dozen. Finally I said "Listen, I don't give hats to customers, how many customers do you honestly believe are going to wear a hat that has my company name on it? I'm into drag racing and I refuse to wear any companies appearal so I don't push my business on others"...silence (this wasn't in his telemarketer book) "Well sir I can offer you 1 dozen hats for 99 dollars, thats a great deal, can I have your credit card number to make the order" I again said "I've already told you I would only order 6 hats, I don't need more then six and I don't want to waste your time" lmao then his great selling technique Well Kurt, you must not be doing very well in business if you can't afford 99 dollars, you don't sound like a customer we'd want to do business with so I laughed at how bad of a salesman he was and thanked him for wasting my time.
Thats just one of the many great calls I get. But atleast up until the last sentence this guy did a somewhat good job of selling the product. He didn't read in monotone and he made chit chat to try to get me to buy. Normally I get these people that use filler words (uh..um...yea..like) and stumble on their own words. I just don't understand how they can get a job selling stuff, or they must not last long becuase their sales have to be worse then my company apparently is according to the hat guy :laugh:
