SalesisNotForSissies Hall of Shame

Last week, I received the e-mail below. There is NO way the sender looked at my Web site as he implies, or he would have never sent me this e-mail. How do I know that? Well, I run a sales training and consulting company. Therefore, I am the sender's competition.

I believe the sender got my name off a list and sent me a generic e-mail. I hate stuff like this! The sender's smarmy and deceptive sales tactics give all of us truthful sales professionals a bad name. They make it harder for us good guys to sell and reinforce negative stereotypes. So shame on him for telling lies so he can start a conversation.


And that’s why I have nominated him for the SalesIsNotForSissies Sales Hall of Shame!

Do you have a nomination for the SalesIsNotForSissies Hall of Shame?? Send it to melissa@thoughttransformation.com.
