You know what makes me mad?
Salesmen.
More exactly, salesmen who don't do their job. Now you may think that a salesman's job is to sell me stuff. I like to think that in the case of the type of salesman that I deal with, their job is to give me the best tools and information available to allow ME to sell their products.
Case in point: Mane 'N Tail. We are running a sale this month on Mane N' Tail Conditioner and Mane N' Tail Shampoo. One of distributors is giving us a good price and we are passing on the savings. No big deal.
I decided to make a sign for our horse supply store to promote the sale. So I went to the Straight Arrow web site to see if they had any good pictures or logos I could use. First thing I find? The Mane 'n Tail Ireland Equestrian Vacation Sweepstakes link.
Just about two weeks ago I was at a trade show hosted by one of our Mane 'N Tail distributors. I spoke to my distributor salesman PLUS the manufacturer reps. Not a single one bothered to mention the sweepstakes. Admittedly, the sweepstakes has nothing to do with me BUT darnit...it IS relevant to the product.
Do I ask too much?
