Can we hold ourselves to a higher standard?

This email came from one of my competitors earlier this week after I downloaded one of their white papers to research them (I'm a sales rep). Too much to ask if we can agree as sales people to walk the walk (if you say you researched actually research)

You should reply "I'm lonely, but at least I'm not desperate. So remember that God loves you, but I don't"

I wish Sales/SDR Managers start educating themselves on how to effectively build and use a cadence. People are literally using it for carpet-bombing (like them marketing mailers which have 40% open rates and 0% readership). This is not how it was supposed to me. Aches my heart.

Curious, if you believed you could truly help the company (game changer) How should he have approached the buyer?

Lots of “I” usage there, shows exactly who that is about and it’s not you
