Rant of the day,
How many times have you been asked to connect to someone and the first thing they do is try to sale something to you which is either relevant to your profile, your industry within which your work or country you are based in 🤷♂️, you answer politely at first saying thanks for connecting but not really my field in which would use your products.
Then you get a response, but we can offer you a lot more than just this 🤷♂️, seriously, you didn’t open your sales pitch with your USP 🤷♂️, you tried to hide it 🤷♂️ Then you again politely respond that why would you use the services of a company based 4,000 miles away from where you based for a service which you could easily get from a local guy based down the road 🤷♂️
So, my rant is: you call yourself a Marketing Manager (then do your marketing before you blindly waste peoples time and totally turn them against your company you represent) or you are a Sales Manager (same applies) as I have never understood why you think there is a difference between Sales and Marketing – there isn’t. If you are marketing what are you doing – endeavoring to sale a product, if you are in Sales, what are your trying to do – sale a product, so, please what’s the difference, you are all into Sales.
