My co-workers have been teasing me about my optimisim during all these meetings. But I'm telling you - folks are finally getting this product line. They are realizing it sells itself. One buyer called it "found money".
But I guess the way it usually works is that you come here, present, everyone loves everything, and then no one ever buys.
But my boss admitted today that this seems a bit different. They are requesting that we complete new vendor forms. They are ALL requesting quotes and samples, meetings.
But him admitting that hasn't kept him from givin' me a little grief. I'm making arrangements to follow up on stuff right away. I'm scheduling calls to set up meetings. He say's they'll never remember me. My new name is gonna be Tammi Who?
I just smile and tell him - I'm too stupid to know better. In my mind - you say you like it, you say you want it - well by gott I'm gonna make sure it happens.
We'll see about that new name. Tammi Who? More like Tammi Whoa!!!

If you follow up on leads agressively your chances still might only be 1 in 1000, but if you DON'T follow up they're ziltch.
