Ugh...there is a salesman on the floor talking in that salesman voice. God I hate that voice.

throw us some choice quotes

Can't even make out the words as I never leave my door open, just that bright, chirpy "I'm your friend" voice, fake chuckle and overall tone making me want to go slap him.

Don't you hate when salesman types interject your name way too often in the conversation, you know, to make it more personal. There's something weirdly condescending about it.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves in the world, Drinky. I'll tell you what, Drinky, I hate it when ANYONE does this. For instance Drinky, when someone is talking to me and they say, "Yes, LooGAR, that is exactly what I am driving at," or "I don't think you quite understand my point here, LooGAR." It makes me want to fucking explode, Drinky.

One of my business partners is guilty of that and a couple of other major offenses that drive me up the fucking wall.

My financial guy does this. They TRAIN you to do this at most big companies' salesforce introductions.

it makes me feel like at some point they're gonna try and lead me in the sinner's prayer

this. every salesperson here does it, even in passing. "Dale, thanks for sorting out the files in a timely fashion. Appreciate it Dale.

we had a guy here once that was always in salesforce mode. i never saw him turn it off. had a bluetooth ear piece and would walk around the floor talking this shrill business-ese as if every call was The Big Deal.

so annoying

I wish someone would teach them the politicians' trick of only remembering the important people, and calling everyone else "GAR" or some equally ingratiating/backhanding name.

I try to say a new introduction's name when I am first introduced to make sure I heard them correctly and when the conversation is over I'll I say it was nice to meet you ___ . It helps the name stick in my brain otherwise I have to look at their card for a reminder.

i just call everybody "man" because i can't remember names for shit

They basically don't let me talk to people at work. This is probably for the best.

I wonder sometimes if it drives him crazy that I sell just as much if not more relative to how often I have the phones using a sales language that could basically be summarized as "talking like a regular person"

It works (and has always worked) for me. But it's not something I could teach at a Dale Carnegie seminar.

Damn, Shiv. I just clicked on this to post that.

So, I'll give you this:

money-shot at :38 in. Impressive!

OHHH SHIT!

This is their Top Gun volleyball scene moment.
