    How to Ensure That I Do Not Do Business With You

    1. Call daily
    2. Upon calling, do not leave a message after you have left only one message previously
    3. Upon reaching my office voice message, then call my cell phone
    4. Email me, copying my boss and your business associate, that you have tried to contact me unsuccessfully
    5. Upon receiving an email from me, respond to all that you will remember in the future that email is the best method of communicating with me

    Granted, this is a sales man. The intelligence guy is his associate. But, still. This smacks of smart ass attitude and if this is the way I am going to be treated for a $10 million account, then I may not move my account to your firm.

    Time is money. Yes, agreed.

    However, relationships with existing financial institutions and ensuring that the business needs of the firm are met is paramount to earning 100 basis points more.

    I am duly ticked off. And, yes, I am the one who makes the final decision. Not my boss. Not my husband, who is my boss. Me.

    Criopes, that is frcking annoying. I hate sales people of all kinds, pretty much. But pushy ones put me over the top.

    Been there, done that with sales people looking to work the system to get their bonus. I hate it!
