Work related stuff of no interest to people not in Sales and Marketing

Don't much like back stabbing, me. If you don't like something I do, have the decency to tell me. Not that anyone reading this would.

In the pub just now with a work colleague and they told me what another work colleage had said about me. They had been quite upset about it, and wanted me to know.

Apparently, I am an 'unprofessional cowboy', who doesn't undertstand that 'there is a professional way of dealing with people in business.' This because, I am very much myself with clients, down to earth, chat football, flirt with the female ones, etc.
I retorted that if this person thought that, they were working in the wrong sector. We don't work in the civil service or banking. We work with people. So talk football, holidays, flirt, do anything to get your business. It's about people and it's about human interaction. Basically, we are paid to make people like us, and that ain't done by preserving 'professional barriers.'

If I'm dealing with a female client, I put extra curls in my hair and talk slowly, in a low voice. If I'm dealing with a Rugby Club member, It's manly talk time. That's the difference between a paid salesman and someone who loves marketing. Call me a cowboy. I don't care. I am. But that's my style. Like it or lump it. It gets results.

I asked my informant 'And what did you say?'

The reply says it all. 'Yes, but he gets results.'

So Lesley, darling, don't forget.
You work with people, hun. Keep on the right side of them. If you'd said what you said to my face, darl, it would have been forgotten by now.
But now I know you're not on my 'to be trusted list', maybe you should compare my track record to yours and start pondering on your future...
