Winning Sales Pitch
I got an email yesterday out of the blue from someone I've never heard of or from before who was looking to do some business with us. Now, as any of you who are involved in sales know the hardest thing is the 'cold call,' when you have to really present yourself in a good light and somehow convince someone who knows nothing about you to at least be interested in doing some busiiness with you, and this email I think is one of the best I've ever gotten...
Hello Sirs or Madam, Why do you never respond my email? Why are you very arrogant? Aren't you coffee buyer? Don't you need green coffee? Did you ever big problem in doing business with exporters before? Do you think that I will not keep quality of coffee? I need your reply, my partner. Best Regards, Ucok Gondrong
Heh.

Ucok? I would have expected that name to be associated with other email products.

I thought it was a pissed off bounty hunter from Star Wars. You think this resolved? This is not resolved!
