A Little Help Here?!?!
Kill me now.
Please.
I'm sitting here, in Columbus Ohio, workin' the phones.
No...not like that. I'm calling everyone of my customers using that tired old line "Have I got a deal for you....."
Yeah. You can only imagine how that's goin' over.
I've been at this since 7:00 this morning. It's now 1:00. I've gotten 3 NO's and about 5 Call Me Backs.
I'm dyin' here. DYIN'!!!!
The good news is I'm not alone.
But ohhhhh what I wouldn't do for a friendly voice on the other end of the phone.........
Well either that or a dozen donuts..........

Posted by: Carmen at October 9, 2007 01:37 PMOh, gosh. I know how that goes... and it so sucks. But you know, pretty soon the law of averages has to kick in...
[ducking as I run for the exit...]
Posted by: pam at October 9, 2007 01:51 PMOh, yeah. Carmen is right; you ARE great at what you do! It will get better! ;)

Yeah, thanks Guys! It's bad. It's really bad. But - it's tough everywhere so I don't feel so bad.
And AW? Yeah, great thought there. Me walkin' around town with a mattress on my back.......
Posted by: Tammi at October 9, 2007 07:14 PMMy voice is warm, if a little gravelly. And since when do I tell a woman "no" at my age?
Posted by: RSM at October 10, 2007 08:41 AMYou didn't call me, I'd be a friendly voice. Well okay a friendlier voice.
If do you start door to door mattress sales. Please let me know when and were so I can watch!
