A salesperson came in to meet with me recently. She was armed with an average looking powerpoint presentation and a fake designer bag. I stood up to meet her as she exended her hand to greet me. I noticed that her alice band was a cheap rendition of a Chanel handbag strap. Her voice immediately irritated me.
Throughout what she kept referring to as her 'preso', I nodded in the right spots, but I couldn't help but study all the different elements of her outfit, and how horribly cheap it all seemed. I wasn't really paying attention to anything she said, until I remembered that her voice irritated me.
Her accent was completely faush (faux posh). Here was a Bogue who barely pronounced her 's'es, because she thought she sounded more profe__ional that way. Every time I knew an 's' word was coming, I had to concentrate hard to not let my facial expression change to open disdain.
When the presentation concluded, and she once again extended her fake nailed hand out to me, I wondered - is there a special, preened and polished look that sales people must have, and does that necessarily mean that you look slick? Could someone please close this deal for me? I'm afraid this lead has gone cold.
