They use various techniques to try and sell you their products, some more desperate than others.<\/p>\n<p>One angle that is used quite often is sex.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s just a little more covert.<\/p>\n<p>So who&#8217;s the blonde?<\/p>\n<p>Well first of all she doesn&#8217;t exist. I have a stinking head cold last 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 &#8220;Hoping we can work with your business&#8221; yet within a few sentences had switched to &#8220;I&#8217;m a Blue-eyed Blonde with a nice figure \u2026 What do you look like?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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<p>I&#8217;ve had some desperate salespeople on the phone but never that bad.
