Sales is full of slimeballs
The girl that sits next to me is seemingly innocent. She's all "la la la...puppy dogs and babies" on the phone and is about as smart as a toenail. But she's a freaking snake when it comes to deals. We have another sales group based in Minnesota. Our territories overlap quite a bit and we run across leads every now and then that have already been talking to one of our counterparts in Minnesota. My policy is to back off and let them have it. I have enough leads in my pipeline. If I'm a good salesman I can make my quota and be successful without poaching deals from co-workers. At least twice a day I hear her on the phone trying to steal a deal away from one of the Minny folks. It's f'n disgusting. Sorry...just had to get that off my chest. My other co-workers and I talk about how unprofessional and underhanded she is. She has absolutely no support from any of us. Hope she doesn't need any help anytime soon.

Glad to hear your not succombing to the stereotype. I'm sure that business can by quite cutthroat. I still think about the story Jeremy told us back in August and can't believe it.
what story was that?
About the dude who called Jeremy's office and said his dad lived at the nursing home Jeremy went to and was pissed about his dad being subjected to solititation. The whole three kids thing is really making a run on your sanity isn't it Larry?
what huh?
Is that Tony Danza over there?
Yeah, Larry, good to know I can sit and have lunch with you, share what's on my heart and then have you forget it the next day. I thought we had something (sob, sob). Just kidding, it was probably the Bud Lights that affected your memory.
Dang...Larry has Tony Danza hanging out in his office.
Phil, I don't think I have any plans tomorrow. Wish you were in town tonight. Raymond and Elizabeth and Kevin and Angela are coming over for dinner. I'm making my world famous (I can say that since I've been overseas now) scallop scampi.
My cell is 404-216-7554. Let me know what your schedule is.
I mean, when are people going to start having business trips to Madison?? Ok, unless you are a politician or you work for Oscar Meyer there really wouldn't be a reason to come here. Heck, I'd settle for Chicago. I could get over there.
I goess no one go tmy Mr. ShortTerm Memory reference. Come on - Tom Hanks, old SNL. Good stuff
Good one Larry. Hadn't seen that sketch in forever.
