horrible story

I just did this.

I was on the second call with a vp of sales big growing sw company.

I sent him what he asked for in an overview of how I would aquire a customer.

When he got it and we were zooming, he said he was dissapointed in that I didnt name the company, contacts, etc. I said I never do. Conflict for me. He got perturbed. I found that odd. I apologise and tell him I can do a canned on but not a customer name etc. He got abrupt. I ended the call but not the zoom. I didnt leave. I said a very rude thing. He heard it. All I could say was I was so sorry. Of course I meant it but lesson learned. END A ZOOM SESSION IN RED.

You did the right thing not naming names. He could have been just using you.

BUT...don't say crap about customers, don't use profanity on a work call with prospects/clients, etc... I have seen people fired for less.

well damn man give us the good stuff!!

Also good for you for ending the call. sounds like he was using you? very strange.

when you said he "got abrupt" what do you mean?
what did you say after ending the call?
how did you end the call but not the zoom and have him still hear you???

Are you trying to sell this guy or get a job?

In both cases, not releasing details should be fine; youโ€™re being respectful of customer confidentiality.

But - Iโ€™m also voting to learn what you said!
