cheesy salesman

I'm telling you what, my biggest pet peeve (besides someone smacking - ugh) is when I'm working with a client and I get interrupted by some cheesy sales person off of the street.  Sure walk right in.  No worries.  My client doesn't care that your taking up her time.  She only has half of her color applied to her head.  Why don't we sit down and talk about what your selling.  We can deal with her hair later.
Don't come into my business with your song and dance to tell me about how I'm missing out on the next best thing.  Then tell me it's free.  Nothing is free.  That's when he smiles at me and says well cash free.  What?  Are you kidding me?  Buddy, if you want to sell me something and really think that I'm going to be interested in it, then first you need to make an appointment.  Second, you need to feed me something.  Anything really.  Just to show me you appreciate me taking time out of my busy day.  Third, be honest.  I'm not stupid.  Lay it out there.  Be real.  Otherwise you get the ugly Debbie.  God knows, I will be honest with you.  I don't have that sensitive gene.  Skipped right over me.
If that doesn't work.  Make sure I'm scheduled to be off and talk to Jon.  He buys into just about anything.  Good luck.
