i really just want to sell you something

Apr 5, 2013

Watching the Jodi Arias trial highlights, I note that there are a lot of “hypothetical” situations provided for the “expert” to analyze. So I want YOU to be the expert in this hypothetical set of circumstances…

Person A and Person B share a business association membership. So Person B sends an email asking to speak with Person A about a service they offer. Person A doesn’t respond immediately so Person B begins calling and leaving voice messages because Person A isn’t available. Person B also sends yet another email for Person A that says, “I left you voice mail earlier today and wanted to see if I could get you via email. Would like to see what time is good for a quick chat about what items are working for you and what are not.

So my dear experts… do you consider this to be…

  1. a good ‘selling’ tactic
  2. not cool to be so pushy
  3. way too desperate
  4. whatever works

If only we weren’t so busy already…

we are just so busy!
