Fewer Ulcers |

Okay, I've had two meetings that were disasters this week. Not my disaster, the salesperson calling on me. Do you ever find that you have a great product and a great company but then you are blindsided by the idiot you hired to represent you?
The first one actually sat in my office and when I came back with a glass of water had lit a cigar. No ashtrays, no smell of it in my office, no sign that I smoked much less that I wanted his foul smelling smoldering piece of barnyard rubbish in my office. He lost it in my glass of water.
The second was a 20-something bleach blonde wearing stiletto 4 inch heels and a red tube dress that left no doubt as to the fact that her legs went all the way up and virtually nothing else to the imagination.
The only thing that either of them got was a phone call to their respective bosses about unprofessional staff and a request that they not call on my company anymore.
Many other nightmares that I can recall but I’d love to hear about this from the employer’s side. Any lessons you learned in the process and how to avoid such catastrophies.
