Sales Manager

[Ormondnole]

How do you tell your sales manager to stay out of your accounts because of appearance?

We just hired this guy, he is the friend of the COO, and he is unkept, smells of cigarettes and cheap cologne. I have busted my rear to build relationships, as we are a start up, and this guy wants to go into my accounts to see if he can help push it along. My fear is he will set it back and create a steeper uphill climb for me.

Can't wait to hear what the LR has to say!

Add cocaine to his coffee, drop anonymous tip, profit.

just say you guys have a great relationship, you talk about things that are outside of work, if he were to come the client might get a bad vibe. Then follow with a, "let's hold off on you coming until there is a situation where you can come in and be the hero so to speak."

How about you close some deals so the boss doesn't need to send somebody in to close them for you. ABC bro...

This, homie. If you make it rain, you can tell anyone to go f- a tailpipe.

 

[LesClaypool]

Just find some appointments that you don't care that much about and bring him on those. I'm certain not all of your clients/prospects are A-level.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

I've noticed over the years that sales guys only refer to them as "my accounts" when they're buying.

 

[SeaPA]

You're in Dirtona Beach. Everyone is unkempt and reeks of cigarettes & cheap cologne.

Set up a GoToMeeting or Skype meeting with the client so he can introduce himself but wont offend with his hygiene

Play up the relationship aspect of it. Explain that they have evolved into friends rather than simply clients and that you want to keep it that way. In the alternative, tell him he's a stud and that you are threatened by his preternatural good looks.

Remind him that coffee is for closers, only.

Tell him you have an appointment in Orange County, give him the address and the time. Of

Thank you, Flo Fox.

Tell him to take his Lumberg, micromanaging ass elsewhere and then give him a swift kick to the nuts.

This. If you are a star, the COO won't let his "friendship" with this bozo interfere with everyone making money. Make sure you are as good as you think you are before staking out any position that is too harsh. When you are really good, you can get away with plenty. Good luck.

 

[MIKE_G]

Tell him to go back to his other job of coaching the Gators.

Crap on his doorstep, works every time

If he shows with hoes and blow, you may have to go....
Learn from the guy. Respect his years in the trenches. Find out what makes him tick. Chicks probably love him.
