Two and a half hours into an after-work meeting, and starving, I realized this individual is not interested in my service. My first thought was why did she waste my time when she could have said no in the first place? Instead, she pulled out an invitation card and revealed why she had wanted to meet me. She wanted me to attend an event.
As an entrepreneur, I come across all types of salespeople. The one that I did not run into until last week is a salesperson who pretends to be a customer. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate salespeople. Good salespeople are rare gems I look out for. To me, an ideal salesperson is honest, puts the customer’s interest at heart, and thinks of win-win situations for both the company and the client.
That’s not too much to ask for, is it?
