Default Marketing/Sales 101

For those of you in sales/marketing here is a funny for you...

Subject: What Marketing Really Is

People have asked for decades what Marketing really
is, and perhaps the following will help clear it up:

You see a beautiful woman at a party. You go up to her
and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." -- That's Direct
Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a
beautiful woman. One of your friends goes up to her
and pointing at you says, "He's fantastic in bed."
--That's Advertising.

You see a beautiful woman at a party. You go up to her
and get her telephone number. The next day you call
her and say,"Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." -- That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a beautiful woman. You talk
her into going home with your friend. -- That's a
Sales Rep.

Your friend can't satisfy her so he calls you. --
That's Tech Support.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that
there could be beautiful women in all these houses
you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one
situated toward the center and shout at the top of
your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" -- That's Spam

You're at a party and see a beautiful woman. You get
up and walk up to her and pour her a drink. You say,
"May I," and reach up to straighten your tie brushing
your arm lightly against her breast, and then say, "By
the way, I'm fantastic in bed." -- That's Public
Relations.

You're at a party and see a beautiful woman. She walks
up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."
-- That's Brand Recognition.

Kilgore, I wish I knew you well enough to share the humor in the huge can of worms you opened with your comment... Three comebacks in a matter of seconds!, I'm sure you can imagine one of them.

Great post, but where is the "hard sale" discription?

COTR, feel free to share any humor. I have an open mind, I think.

"Three comebacks in a matter of seconds!, I'm sure you can imagine one of them." :whazzup: What do you mean?
