Phenomenal Gatekeeper Story - EFFECTIVE

View James Nudelman's profile on LinkedIn

Sometimes, humor and creativity are great ways to build business relationships with offices.

The following story is one for the books.

A pharmaceutical sales rep's attempt to get into an office...here is what he did: He drove a remote control car with a walkie-talkie attached past the receptionist and into the doctor's office. With his own walkie-talkie in hand, he announced his visit to the doctor. The doctor was laughing so hard at the sales representative's ingenuity that he had no choice but to invite him in. The receptionist was even laughing and stated that there had been thousands of representatives who had visited their office, but none tried anything close.

After his visit, the sales representative sealed the deal by sending a Starbucks gift card in the mail to the receptionist thanking her for being a good sport.

With that, we throw another log onto the fire.

Wow...Noodle...What a genius. It seems like most salespeople try the same ineffective approaches all the time. I'll bet that this person wins multiple sales awards for their company.
