Stop me if you've heard this one before...You land a big client (so big they have customers of their own and each transaction they do equals money in your pocket). Now say this client is out in Vegas and is having a conference with muscle cars, golf, machine guns, and of course, gambling. On the date of the conference, make sure you're having a baby so you can't attend, but find a way for your favorite fellow savage to go. You bring him up to speed, he's excited to golf, the client is happy your org is putting some money and people into the event. THEN the day before the event, one of the main decision makers AKA the reason all of these customers are coming to be a part of the client's new project/company just up and..DIES. That's right, you heard me, DIES, D - E - A - fucking - D, dead....yeah fucking awkward, nope don't know the story, just know he didn't show up to an early meeting day of conference and was found dead in his hotel room. Low 60s in age and no known terminal issues.
Fast forward to today, I had my baby, coworker went and played golf and drank but basically described the weirdest strangest conference ever b/c Mr. Dead was the only person in the organization that really knew any of the people. I just got the obituary sent to me today the whole thing feels like a strange always sunny episode kicker and I'm waiting for the intro music and script episode name to appear. Wanted to share and ask you brutes for your strangest random occurrence involving sales (and or dead prospects/customers). Let hear em - knock me dead! (bad taste?)
As always, a poll for listening and getting a pulse of the movers and shakers.
