Why do female sales reps talk to me like I'm their boyfriend? - GoFuckYourself.com

justsexxx · 06-01-2004, 08:26 AM

Just curious, does that help to bring in new webmasters? I was contacted by 2 sales reps today. ANd both started with stuff like

Hi Honey, this is blbalbal from blabla, then I ask some questions, and they can't answer them. Then I say okay, well I need to know bye bye, no time for this then, they say I;m very sorry love, I will do my best with my breast to get answers asap from our techninal department hihi...

Pff, clowns

okny · 06-01-2004, 08:29 AM

Because they want you to do business so they will say anything you want to hear.

Hehe no, well I don't care they talk that way to me...But some of them are so stupid...They are trying to sell, but they don't actually know sh*t of the stuff they are trying to sell...That's actually the whole point

im not opposed to the occasionaly dropping of "babe" or "hon" and do it quite often , but that "best with my breast" bullshit is going one step too far

Corleone · 06-01-2004, 08:39 AM

they're using girl's weapons.... tits/pussy

Phoenix · 06-01-2004, 08:41 AM

when a girl who i am not intimate with calls me babe or hon, it sets off an alarm

after awhile girls who are just your friends might call you that, but i dont like it

TheLegacy · 06-01-2004, 08:46 AM

because the owners of that business feel.. (*and I know this for a fact) that if they girl talks sexy and comes onto the webmasters.. they feel that he is too hung up on the fact a hot girl likes him that he will stick with the company.

Its all about sex guys and you know it... we use it to sell to the surfer.. and we do it to ourselves.

How many of you would climb ontop of one another at a conference to get into a room where they offer handjobs - or strippers?? companies play up on that idea by getting salespersons that are borderline phonesex machines.

mindoza · 06-01-2004, 08:47 AM

speaking as a woman..I would never assume to use those adjectives unless we had some working history and it felt right...I am looking for sales not boyfriends..I have enough trouble with the one I have. However men call me hun and sweetie all the time and i am no hun...sweetcheeks maybe but not hun so is this a double standard?

MandyBlake · 06-01-2004, 09:05 AM

I have no idea.
I can see saying that kind of stuff if you have some sort of relationship with someone, but if you're out "cold messaging" people, that's not proper.

Girls that present themself and their company/product in that manner.... seriously irritate me. And gives myself along with other hard working... knowledgable female sales reps a bad name.

Its a trend I have seen more and more over the past year. Kinda frustrating. Guess they think having a pretty face as their rep and at shows will have our horny asses promoting them right quick.

emmanuelle · 06-01-2004, 09:09 AM

I had a popular content company phone me a while back. When I told them I was not interested, the male salesman made a comment about 'no wonder women are useless in this business.'

I buy a lot of stuff these days as we grow.
You can bet that company will NEVER see a dime from either me, nor anyone I do business with.

My icq handle does not indicate whether I am male or female. I find that this avoids a lot of bullshit, because people assume that I'm a guy. Now if they'd only stop calling me 'Sir'.

Digipimp · 06-01-2004, 09:13 AM

because most of them are hired for ass and titties, so they have to use ass and titties to make it work. afterall most of these webmasters are glorifed surfers who drop their fucking brains at the door when they see a little ass.

isn't that right orgasmcash?

i never take that stuff seriously, just as probably you dont. no smart person would. business is business. with that said, i have met some great business women, and they are the exact opposite.

I noticed too with various reps

Tera · 06-01-2004, 09:24 AM

All I know is I am a female sales rep and more.. and I never do that shit. I don't go around talking to my non industry friends like that, and I don't want to do it in the industry either.

My take is that a lot of girls read the boards and see how people talk to eachother (it's done on here all the time) and think that is going to get traffic, and they try and be your best friend, talk all cute and you guys fall over them.

It must work if they keep doing it!

I can't bring myself to do it, I hate the word hun, sweets, babe, all that crap.

m00d · 06-01-2004, 09:24 AM

god i am so sick of this phenomenon i could puke

"hon this, hon that, sweetie this, sweetie that, aww hon"

inserting inane giggles ( hihi/hehe) into serious conversations

shut the fuck up already

this is not professional

it makes your company look like a 2bit floozy operation

we are businessmen and women, not local truck stop patrons
