Sales Hijinks

Dear Readers,
One more tidbit before Year's End.  Admin Gal received a call from her IT rep.

Much to her surprise, a request had been called in to start a 'free, no-obligation' trial of a gadget for a warehouse inventory system.  Admin Gal had submitted no such request nor would she

Admin Gal was NOT AMUSED!!!!!

In a calm voice, she asked the vendor name and the date of the request.  She flipped through her trusty calendar,  Admin Gal located the offending sales call.

You see, Admin Gal has a habit of jotting down numbers, names, companies and notes on sales calls. Particularly on calls that are annoying.

The details of the call came flooding back.  The offer of a free trial had been offered and roundly refused.  The scheming sales person had gone behind Admin Gal's back and submitted a request in her name to implement the trial of his equipment.

Admin Gal's first reaction was unprintable.  Needless to say, an investigation is underway.

Admin Gal as a lot of influence.  But to order the trial of expensive equipment is not one of them.  This vendor is on the DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH list.  Thanks to this person's ingenuity.

When the answer is 'no', it does not mean maybe.
