When I’m at work I often get called by representatives of various companies. They use various techniques to try and sell you their products, some more desperate than others.<\/p>\nWhen I’m at work I often get called by representatives of various companies.

One angle that is used quite often is sex.<\/p>\n
I work in an office environment but sex is used just as much in sales for the white collar pitch as it was when I worked in a factory\/workshop environment. It’s just a little more covert.<\/p>\n
So one day earlier this year I was called by this woman.<\/p>\n
Well first of all she doesn’t exist. I have had stinking head cold that night and was tossing and turning, not really getting to sleep for longer then a few minutes at a time. This meant that I was in and out of REM sleep all the time. I had some vivid and confusing dreams, one of which had me in the office taking a call from a sales rep. She started off with the usual pitch about “Hoping we can work with your business” yet within a few sentences had switched to “I’m a Blue-eyed Blonde with a nice figure \u2026 What do you look like?”<\/p>\n
Because I was in business mode I quickly wound up the call and hung up, not wanting to deal with a company who used techniques like that. I even laughed and joked about how desperate the supplier must be to try such a stunt with my colleagues before the room dissolved and I woke up again.<\/p>\n
I’ve had some desperate salespeople on the phone but never that bad. How about you guys?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
