Salesmen
I've never liked salespeople, even when I was one(sold stuff door to door for 3 weeks-wow, was that a mistake). The idea that someone else gets paid to make outrageous promises that I have to keep really pisses me off. I've dealt with customers that remind me how they were promised thus and so, and why can't I deliver?
In my business it mainly ends up being customers that want us to jump through 4 flaming hoops, while juggling chainsaws and singing an aria in Portugese, before we get their business, and then complain about everything.
I've often wondered, what would a world without salesman be like? If there was just customer service and production?
And while I hate to admit it, I was inspired to write this post after reading a new blog:
A Free Man in Preston
He's a new blogger like me, and has some real funny stuff. There's a link up on my blogroll too.
