World's Worst Sales Call

(Names totally withheld to protect the completely guilty and clueless...)

Sales rep comes in (she's just in from out of town) and fiddles with the handle on her carry-on bag. Can't get it down. Abandons that. Rummages around in Large Bag, mumbles "Hmm, what was it I wanted to show you?" Pulls out various rumpled pieces of paper with handwritten notes on them. Sorts through files and piles them on my table. Boots up laptop. Fires up PowerPoint presentation with 200 words per slide. Sits beside me, looks unblinkingly at laptop, and reads every word on every slide out loud.

How I'd do, coach?

Other professions beckon...
