How to become the worlds worst salesman
Cold-Call a potential customer. Tell him that his company participated in a survey about laser printers last year and that you want to send him a bottle of wine as a thank-you. Refuse to name the person that participated in the survey in the name of the company you are calling right now. Ask what type of laserprinter the company you are calling has. Never mention the free bottle of wine again. Tell them that you want to send them 4 cartridges “for testing” for 190 euros each. When told that the company you are calling has a policy against buying from companies that cold-call potential customers, tell the customer that you are not selling anything. When asked why you don’t sell anything, when you want to send 4 cartridges for 190 euro a piece, insist that they are for “testing”, although the company you are currently calling will be billed for them.Then hang up.
Man, I love telemarketers.
