While I'm picking on salespeople…

Posted on September 29, 2005 by Dave J.

I’ve had a couple salespeople call me twice recently…without their realizing it. If you are doing outbound calling, don’t you keep track of stuff like that? And another guy trying to sell me an expensive ad package without qualifying me (or he would learn he is wasting his time). More salespeople lost in the MAZE.

Semirelated: I want to praise the guy who I bought my car from via eBay. His first email to me promised “you will not be dissappointed.” He may not be a salesperson, but he understands the issue of buyer’s remorse I was facing buying a car unseen. The book Pardox of Choice made a big issue of buyer’s remorse as an impediment to sales–this guy gets it.

Oh, and yes, he delivered. I am not dissappointed with the car.

    The calls I hate the most are those from vendors I’m already a client of. <>‘Hi, do you want to become a client of Acme’s?’I’m already a client of yours. Ask your billing department: they’ll know!!!<>MS

    My favorite is how in our office we moan about getting cold calls from companies and we turn around and do the same thing to others and some how it’s seems proper and justified.

    I work for a company called InvisibleCRM, and we have created several new applications for salesforce.com that will make your life as a CRM user much easier.They include OutlookForce which builds Salesforce into Outlook and works completely the same offline as online. All your records available anytime, without downloading in advance, without uploading the results, all reports, emails, and changes captured and synced whenever you reconnect. And it is built into Outlooks forms so it works exactly like Outlook.The same idea for documents; all stored on the desktop, all changes synced automatically and delivered the desktops of other users.There are several other applications with equally cool features, and they’re all designed for the end user, to make Salesforce.com work for you. We’re going to be running some live WebEx demonstrations over the next few weeks that are open to everyone and will show off the entire suite. Just go to: http://www.invisiblecrm.com/webex and register for a session.See you there.Ann
