The joys of accidental pitchlines

Ever had one of those calls where you completely mix up your script? I once started giving a sales pitch for lawn care while my client was clearly more interested in talking about their cat! We ended up having a 10-minute conversation about feline grooming. Leads can be tricky sometimes, but at least I got some laughs out of it.

I can relate! It’s like trying to sell ice to Eskimos while they’re more interested in how to train their pet iguana. Just goes to show, sometimes you find unexpected gold in the conversation. Ever had one of those moments turn into a lead?
