LOL i have just had a really weird phone conversation with a rep for some company selling business advertising for one of the local community rags we have here...
Anyway a long story short, about half way through the conversation this lady asked me who makes the final decisions on business related purchases and, generally, its Gary or I and, as he isnt here it would have been this time.
So i tell her we arent interested in buying any ad space at the moment and she then proceeds to ask if Gary would feel the same way about it as i did to which i said, yes he would.
She then goes on to explain how i dont know that for certain and that she should send me a heap more information in the mail because Gary probably would like to see what they were offering and would most likely agree to taking out a small one-off ad as a test LOL
I just couldnt beleive how this chick was giving me the heavy sell on someone she knows nothing about LMAO
Anyway i finally managed to get rid of her and started thinking about some of the stuff she said and, in all truth, even though i know i was right in not placing an ad, it made me think about how many of us actually do have the final word when it comes to business decisions like that, do you have final say or, is there someone else you have to speak to first?
Regards,
Lee
