Often times during the day while Sarah and I are working in the office we will either get a door to door sales man to come in and sell us something or a call to the office to sell us something. Over the next few weeks I am going to tell you about some of our favorite sales calls to CIC.
Last week I got a phone call that went something like this:
Me: Chemically Imbalanced Comedy, this is Angie can I help you?
Sales guy: Hi Angie how are you today.
Me: I’m fine, how can I help you.
Sales guy: Good, good, thats good to hear. Angie I”m calling to tell you about a new bathroom air freshener that automatically dispenses. Angie let me ask you, what are you currently doing to keep the bathroom at your buisness freash smelling?
Me: We currently buy 1-2 cans of air freshener that sits on the shelf.
Sales guy: And you dispense it yourself? By hand?
Me: Yes, usually, well yes.
Sales guy: Well for the low price of $125 I can set you up with an automatic dispenser AND enough product to last you 6 months. Imagine walking into the bathroom anytime and having it smell like fresh flowers…ALL THE TIME!
Me: I’m sorry, that is just too much money for us.
Sales guy: Well how much do you spend now on your current air freshener needs?
Me: Tops $5 a month
Sales guy: But you dispense it yourself right?
Me: No I get it, I mean what your selling. We are just a small Theater, one bathroom. We just don’t have it in the budget to spend $125 for air freshener.
Sales guy: But this will last 6 months.
Me: I’m sorry, it just isn’t going to work, thanks for the call. (hang up)
but you’ll have the bathroom smelling great ALL THE TIME! What a job that guy has. I feel sorry for him.
