I’ve been away all morning because I was asked to tag along on a sales call in Stoughton. Although it’s not my forte, I always seem to do quite well in these situations. A proper sales guy goes out to see a potential client and I tag along to explain some of the more geeky aspects of search engine marketing. So, if you think you might need a proven closer to accompany you on your next prospecting mission, here are some reasons you should pick me:
- I will never break wind (audibly) whilst giving a Power Point.
- I will massage your neck, in front of the client, before and after every question you are asked. Think Rocky and Mick.
- Should the client fail to offer you a beverage upon our arrival, I will cough loudly until they wise up. Or at least until I am escorted out by security.
- As soon as we are asked about R.O.I. I will look around the room and whisper loudly to you “I guess they don’t want this Roy guy to know we’re talking about him”.
- To make sure the client doesn’t think we’re trying to fleece them with marketing-babble, I will combine several overused phrases into a brand new one: “Leveraging low hanging synergies outside the vertical fruit box”.
