How do you feel when poachers book meetings to try and recruit you? I'm flattered but it usually feels like such a waste of time. Why do they do it???

Poachers in meetings

I don't have an open calendar for anyone to book an appointment.ย
I have however reached out to other reps for research. Same industry, different products. As a courtesy I'll send an e-giftcard for their time.ย

That's a cool Strategy
I like this very muchย
Initially it was okay, but later it got repetitive.
Why do you book meetings with them if you think itโs a waste of time? Just curious.ย

I don't have a say.ย Companies can automatically book a meeting on my calendar.ย Only outbound meetings get screened by an SDR.ย
This just seems so weird haha. So outside companies will book a slot on your calendar, take a time that a prospect could sign up for, and expect you to want to talk to them?
Wow.ย
Wow.ย
Initially it was okay, but later it got repetitive. I just do my homework before the call and see where they come from. If they're recruiters and it's not a good time for me, then I cancel the meeting and let them know politely

They don't join. I've been video bombed several times, and it's made everyone smile. Eases tension.
Presence doesn't help, but prospects sometimes ask to see when they hear him bark
