My list of annoying sale's tactics. - GoFuckYourself.com

Cory W · 06-07-2006, 01:47 PM

I hope this doesn?t come off as harsh, but some sale?s tactics really annoy me. For the record, I never mind taking the time to hear of new opportunities, in fact, I look forward to it.

1) When you tell me that by not scheduling time with you to hear about your product, I am costing our company money. In almost all cases, your product is unoriginal and pretty ?run of the mill? dynamically. If you want to sell to someone, don?t insinuate they aren?t smart enough to keep the company profitable. And remember, your product likely isn?t the platform of someone else?s business. It may help, but don?t confuse help with changing the entire business direction. Feeds are great, but they aren?t our entire business.

2) Calling me a snob. This is one of my favorites. It actually took me a little time to figure it out. Basically, ?someone? accuses you of snubbing him or her over and over again.? They can?t figure out why you are ?so cool to everyone else? but won?t seem to give them the time of day. Here is the translation: They call you out publicly as a snob because you have denied them a sale. Then you respond publicly ?man, I am really sorry, I had no idea I ever was like this towards you, next show, I am buying you a beer.?

They get a free beer and an opportunity to use tactic 1 on you for about 10 minutes at the next show.

Genius.

3) Pretending we have known each other for ages. This one actually gets me almost every time. Someone icq?s you:

?Hey Cor man! Dude, I want to apologize for not meeting you for dinner that night. Dude, things were hectic. Anyways, hope that Cali surf is still kick?n homeboy! Call me when you can. 210 333 4444.?

They know that I am too afraid to ask them who they are for fear of being rude. Well guess what? That train has stopped and I now ask, even if insulting someone is on the line.

After that, I ignore them. In which case, they revert back to tactic 2 followed shortly by tactic 1.

4) The cold call or icq. I really don?t mind people calling me about business, but please, for the sake of everyone, KNOW WHAT OUR COMPANY DOES! You have no idea how often someone calls me and mid-way through the pitch I say, ?Well, that sounds cool and maybe I am an idiot, but how would that work in Wegcash??

And then they say, ?Well, what do you guys do online??

I am not kidding, happens all the time.

Once they figure out I am on to their game, they call back with tactic 3.

5) Pretending that you will sleep with me if we talk about your product but never actually ponying up the sex.

I don?t have a problem with this one, but don't follow it up with tactic 4; please know what we do. In the event you do pony up the sex, tactics 4, 3, 2, and 1 are all acceptable.

typically if they have to come to you instead of the other way around their product can't be that great. we are all in sales here, one way or another. peole using sales tactics like that on webmaster/programs is almost insulting.

tASSy · 06-07-2006, 01:57 PM

so let me get this right, if i sleep with you i can bug you in any of the aforementioned methods? sweet!

Well I'm sorry! Just because you came out of the bathroom naked, you shouldn't have expected sex from me! I'm very much straight! LOL

We have found a lot of great products via people selling to us. At the end of the day, we are all sales in one way or another, which is why it baffles me that some people use these crazy amway methods and think we don't see through them.

Please use the latter portion of tactic 5. So far, Wiredguy is the only person to follow through with sex and I was the sales person.

I wonder how many icq's cory is getting right now asking how the surf is in Cali.....LOL

Princess Ellisa · 06-07-2006, 02:38 PM

Cory dude I am so sorry! I didn't mean to annoy you I swear! I tried to pony up on the sex but I never said it would be from me. It is our policy here at Made In Porn to only pimp out Tanker as a sexual trade off. I am strictly in charge of making the deals and you never said that the sex HAD to be with me!

Broda · 06-07-2006, 02:40 PM

Funny thread. You make some great observations

And no, I am not backrubbing you to sell you anything LOL

Hey snob, we've known each other forever, but we don't do biz together? I think that you must not be smart enough to realize you are costing your company money here. I'll sleep with you for some traffic. Btw, what do you guys do again?
