Dear telephone sales woman

If you were the one calling my house at 8 PM this evening and recognize this phone call:

You: Hi my name is YourName, I’m calling from SomeCapital Company AB.

Me: Hi! Where did you say you were calling from again?

You: SomeCapital Company AB.

Me: Aha, right. And what’s your postal address?

You: Ehmn, it’s Kungsgatan XYZ.

Me: Right. And what’s your organization number?

You: Ehmn, I don’t know that.

Me: OK. Then I suggest you call me back when you do so I know where to send the invoice.

You: OK.

Me: Great. Bye! (click)

… five minutes later…

Me: Joel!

You: Hi, this is YourName again from SomeCapital Company AB.

Me: Uhmn, hi.

You: It’s 556677-8899 (I’m just making that up, I did write it down somewhere. I take you very seriously.)

Me: Great! And who should I send the bill to?

You: Uhmn, wait.

… a few seconds later …

You: Alexander Somedude.

Me: I usually practice 30 days as terms of payment. Is that OK?

You: Yeah.

Me: Great. I’ll send the invoice them.

You: OK, do that.

Me: Great. Bye bye!

You: Bye!

If you recognize this, and it was you on the phone, please call back! I totally forgot to ask what you were selling!

 

To the rest of you: yes, she actually called back with her employers billing information. This new source of revenue of mine is just great!

    Poor girl. She didn't know what hit her when she called the big bad wolf on a Tuesday night.
