An Offer He Couldn’t — Remember?

I mostly worked in inside sales. I did a lot of cold calling, I collaborated with outside reps, and of course I did my share of customer service.

Sometimes, though, I’d head out into the field to do some actual in-person selling which, I have to say, I liked better.

Not to brag, but I’m fairly likable and good in a room. If you think you might possibly consider maybe one day doing business with me, it’s a done deal if I can get some face time.

That being said, success wasn’t always guaranteed, and this scenario happened to me a few times.

Sigh …
