Sales bloopers : No 1
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 Monsieur Lafarge?”
Gatekeeper : “No, it’s not possible to speak to him. Why do you want to speak to him?”
Me : “It’s regarding your company’s announcement about the DGT launch, we’re involved in a similar project. Could you put me through please?”
Gatekeeper : “No, I cannot put you through...”
Me : ”I appreciate that Monsieur Lafarge is busy, but…”
Gatekeeper : “Monsieur Lafarge is dead”
Me : ”Oh………”
More bloopers soon….
