Joke, Business-Sales-Related |
| I make my living, selling boxes made from corrugated paper, used for storing paper files. You might know them by the generic terms, "archive or banker" boxes. Since I sell over the telephone, my success demands that I try to make 100 phone calls every day, of which a large percentage are "cold." This means that I'm calling someone I've never spoken to before, and in the vast majority of cases, the outcome is "less-than-pleasant." Cold-calling can be a stressful, nerve-wracking, thankless task. For this reason, in my opinion, successful telephone salespeople are truly the unsung heros of the U.S. economy. Therefore, I To celebrate those nerve-wracked telemarketers, I'd like to create a new soft drink, specifically for them, to give that extra-caffeinated zing, to motivate them to pickup the handset, and dial that next number, even though the last person they just called hung up rudely. This softdrink's name: "Cold-Call Cola!" |
