The perils of double dipping...

Hello again.  Did you miss me?  Well, I just got back from my annual summer family vacation so no blogging.  Part II of the "Buyer's Resolve" will soon follow...but there is another matter at hand.

I returned from vacation to find that someone at my beloved company has been eating my peanut butter.  Despite being conspicuously marked "Jeff" in bright blue Sharpie, its contents have been reduced to only a few spoonfuls.  When I asked around (translation:  screamed from the break room,) I received no clues.  Then our sales ops manager wondered why anyone would want to eat someone's peanut butter, as the owner often "double dips."

Good point, Gail.  Ah...the perils of double dipping.  I won't do it with chips and salsa.  I won't do it with crudités.  And i HATE doing it in sales.  How many times do we bristle when our company drags its rake over the same leaves with multiple email announcements to the same tired contact list over and over again? One client I know claims that they hit their email list 4-5 times the same month! 

I love calling on existing customers, clients, and fans.  But not with the same old- same old "cut and pasted" requests and postings.  Its lame - and unsanitary.

Happy Selling,

Jeff "Chief Basho"
