Yesterday, I got a call from a salesperson who wanted to put a vending machine with “red bull and energy” drinks in my office. She was upbeat and clear on the purpose of her call! However, I work out of a small office. It is obvious that she didn’t do her homework.
Prospects want to know that they are not “just another tick on your call sheet.”
If this salesperson would have looked at my website, she would have known that I probably wasn’t someone who would be interested in a vending machine with Red Bull.
