SalesHQ

Let's lighten it up a bit.  We've all had those "moments" where we can't believe what's just happened in a sales call or presentation.  Here's one of mine.

Promoting a new half-million dollar project required that I enlist the services of an expert business partner.  While making his presentation to seven engineers at a long-time Fortune 100 customer of mine, this gentleman had a severe and very noticable problem with gas.  He continued through his presentation as if no one noticed, while everyone at the conference table kept looking at me to see my reaction.  Needless to say, I wanted to crawl under the table.  We didn't get the deal.  Presentation hilatity aside, we were actually not the best fit for their requirements.  Or, I've always asked myself, was it because everyone only "heard" (and maybe smelled) certain parts of my colleague's presentation.  I've got lots of others, but feel free to share your own.
