Reasons To Bring Me On Outside Sales Calls.

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:


  1. I will never break wind (audibly) whilst giving a Power Point.
  2. I will massage your neck, in front of the client, before and after every question you are asked. Think Rocky and Mick.
  3. 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.
  4. 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".
  5. 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".
