Question for everyone - how far will you let flirting to go to get you an opportunity?
Female ISR & I've been upping my LinkedIn lately. Which is great for prospecting, but makes me feel slimy sometimes because I can tell some men are talking to me because they think I'm attractive.
Normally I'm one to ignore flirting but it's obvious when they bring up "moving to the US for romance that didn't work out" etc.
Now I'm talking to a new Director of DevOps who I think would be a great prospect but he's asking if I'm married...starting to feel a little nauseous but also could use the opportunity.
As an ISR I'll prospect & take the first meeting or so but then hand it off so I don't have to work with these people long-term.
How far will you/have you let someone go with flirting in order to get an opp/close a deal?

Update: I let it slide until he asked for my instagram. Then I blocked him.
Right after he said his daughter was coming home from college this weekend. Ick.
