A guy called my cousins house to talk about his lawn. I acted as if I was a recent graduate of the fuller seminary college in Pasadena. He kept talking to me about grass..I kept asking him about his relationship with the lord. At first he was just being nice. Then he started getting upset about my trying to convert him. Eventually when he asked about any crab grass issues I might have...I simply told him that I prayed nightly to rebuke crab grass...at which point he hung up on me. http://www.the20secondrule.com/the20secondrule/Blog/Entries/2009/6/2_Clay_Delauney_%28director,_writer,_producer%29.html 1f4328cb-5ceb-4662-943e-01ea51718dde Tue, 2 Jun 2009 11:33:45 -0700 I was phoned one night by a telemarketer selling some such-ness. I immediately said “No, thanks.” To which he immediately responded “Asshole” and hung up. http://www.the20secondrule.com/the20secondrule/Blog/Entries/2009/6/2_Day_of_longboarding.html 48274a7b-47d2-4167-9ac9-bd16c4eba8b9 Tue, 2 Jun 2009 11:18:37 -0700 Having owned a company, I know a little about sales. So one night about 5 years ago a woman called me about buying something worthless. I told her,&quot;that the key to selling is having a product everyone wants...or at least the people you are calling.&quot; She said, &quot;everyone wants this.&quot; I said, &quot;you are a sweet gal, but you are really off on this, in fact you have not sold anything all day long.&quot; she asked, &quot;how did you know that?&quot; I said, &quot;because no body wants that.&quot; She then stated, &quot;Shit! Nobody wants this!&quot; I told her to come to work for me. She was in Pittsburgh and had just had a baby, so she gave me her number and I spoke to her husband...and hired him! The moral of the story is...don't do a sales call on my house...unless you want a job!
