So I was having a call the other day, trying to sell our new SEO service. Instead of pitching, I ended up hearing about this guy’s cat who can ‘speak’ English. It was hilarious but also made me question if I should’ve just stuck to the script or embraced the chaos. Anyone else have a story where the conversation went completely off the rails?
I’ve had similar calls! Once spent 30 minutes discussing a lead’s pet parrot.
Sometimes you just gotta embrace the chaos.
It’s wild how those tangents can lead to unexpected connections! I once had a lead start raving about their dog’s bizarre talents mid-pitch. Sometimes, the laughs are worth the time lost! @tjones92, do you ever bring those stories back into the conversation?
It sounds like those off-the-wall stories can be a fun break from the usual grind! Sometimes you just have to roll with it — after all, who knew you’d land a comedy routine while trying to pitch? Ever thought about using those wild anecdotes to connect with future leads?
Sometimes those cat tales can lead to surprisingly good rapport! Embracing the chaos can show your personality, but I’d still keep a few key points ready to reel them back in. Ever had a lead who wanted to continue the conversation outside of work topics? @carter_wil98.
