Sales bloopers : No 2
Sales bloopers : No 2
As mentioned in my last sales blooper post, I started my sales career in, effectively, telesales. As that company is long-gone I feel I can now share with you some of the funny/cringe-worthy moments of that first job…. this and the following stories are all 100% true, though names and details have been changed to protect the innocent.
Me : “Good morning, may I speak to Mike Wright please?”
Gatekeeper : “No, I am sorry, Mike doesn’t take calls”
Me : “OK, no problem. Perhaps you can help, I saw that Mike recently made an announcement about the Hertford project. I have been working on a similar project and wanted to make contact. Is Mike in the office at the moment?”
Gatekeeper : “Err, he is here, but he doesn’t take calls”
Me : ”Yes, I appreciate that, but this…”
Gatekeeper : “Mike won’t take your call because he is deaf.”
Me : ”Oh……… I’ll send an email”
More bloopers soon….

We may call them Bloopers but like the one you quoted, some are so sad. I once pointed to a photo and told the decision maker it was a wonderful photo of his family. He then told me about his divorce being finalized last week.
very funny
Humor is 90% of sales
