Interesting Cold Call Today

This is one of the weirdest interactions I've had in my 8 years in sales. 

Long story short I was speaking with a business owner that I connected with on alignable. Trying to get a better idea of his construction company and how/if my company is a good fit for him. basically he wasn't interested even tho it was a clear fit for the business. however, he thought the fit would be ideal for a new business he is opening up next year. 

The new business was an import/export business. Cargo crates and shipping containers overseas to Europe, he would need a system for tracking/routing/arrivals/safety, etc. no inventory of what's in the crates. just inventory of said crate. 

like wtf underground shit did I just get myself into. I told him id look into it and I have no plans of calling him back lol.

It might be stolen cars, lots of that going on in big cities.

Did he keep referring to you as "my friend" or "bro"? that's always a big red flag for me. It seems to always come from the fast talkers with loose morals.

Like we just met, I'm not your friend or your bro. I'm trying to conduct business and you're creeping me out.

I honestly don’t remember. He definitely was concerned with anything online being hacked or not secure but it was more of “yo I don’t want certain people looking at what I’m doing”

I'm ok with it after we get to know each other, but not in the first meeting. Gotta show some professionalism.
