"Hello, can I speak to Jack please?"
"Yes?"
"No, I'm sorry, can I speak to Jack please?"
"Uh, yes, this is he."
"Oh, sorry. You don't sound like a Jack!"
"...sorry?"



Dear [site] representative,

Take note: Opening a sales call with the above conversation will not make me want to buy things from you. When you're in sales -- and forgive me if I'm being abstruse here -- when you're in sales, it's usually a good idea not to piss off the person you're selling to.

Also: your domains were overpriced, anyway.

Yours,
Really Jack (honest)

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
