Everyday, I am inundated with sales pitches for various widgets, dowickies, and thingamabobs that are guaranteed to save the company, better the work environment, cure the common cold, and even make gold out of paperclips. Yes, the world is their oyster, if I'd only put them in contact with the right person in my organization.
No, I will not put you in contact with my boss. That's why they pay me the big bucks!
Please don't think that I'm deaf if you are in a call center and you represent yourself as a director of sales of anything. I'm not stupid.
A note to the sales professional. Do your research. Go to the web site, look around. I'm not going to do your job for you.
I get the best and the worst on my end of the telephone. For every ten annoying calls, I get a gem that makes me grateful for those moments.
But as to the rest? Fie on them! I liken them to an infestation of rodents that are invading my workspace. Over, under, and around they attack I must be ever vigilant.
