Once more I am in awe of the gall of the sales person. You know the one. The one who calls and says, “Hi there, is xxxx(the executive’s first names like they’ve been bestest of buddies since birth) available?” They’ve already called three times refusing to leave any information with the admin, because it is beneath them. The boss, the executive in question, has no idea who they are. AND when, I the admin, has the audacity to point this out, they back pedal saying, “I’ll just send XXXX and email. He’ll remember me then.”
REEEEAAAAALLLY?
Really people? Are you serious? I know that you want to talk to the top of the food chain. But to be perfectly frank the top of the food chain’s assistant is about ready to serve you up tartar to their boss.
Let’s go over the rules again:
- When wanting to engage an executive of any company, ALWAYS make nice with the admin.
- If the admin says they’ll take a message and pass it on because that is the way things are done. IT IS!
- DO NOT seek to go around, over, under, or through the admin, for all roads lead back to the admin before they go to the executive. And while you’re wasting all that time, the admin is preparing to demolish you.
If sale representatives can follow the above mentioned rules, this admin wouldn’t have to post such warnings.
The warning has been posted.
