It was a teenage mutant turtles meme that said "Real recognize real" as i had sent an email with subject line Hello?????? and the body of the email was a lionel ritchie meme saying is it ERP you are looking for.

Hilarious, this guy is someone I called 18 times over the course of 1.5 years and he goes OFF on me (edited to protect our identities): Jokes on this motherfucker because I went around him and put a contract in place anyway... whoops... love to see it.... 

"Real PezDog, 
I wish I could share my phone logs with you on the number of times your organization has contacted me. I have no interest at this time on working with you or your organization and no need for contract staff at this time. If and when I do need contract staff, I work through the partners that our recruiters recommend and at that point you would know if I have any needs. The disrespectful move of sending me a meeting invite suggests two things. ONE that your time is more important than whatever I have on my calendar at that time and TWO, that I would agree to attend a meeting that I have not agreed to with a total stranger - Has further confirmed that I have zero desire to work with your or your organization now or anytime in the near future. If you or your organization ever have a desire to work with me, you can start by taking me off of your call lists."

and in case you were wondering, here was my response:

Name, 

I appreciate your honesty. I have reached out to you 14 times in total since 04/30/2018. There should not be any other communication from anyone else at MY COMPANY as this account is managed by me alone. I am truly sorry about the calendar request, I did not mean to make it seem like your time and schedule is not important to me, it is. Rather I wanted to offer a proposal to have an informal discussion (instead of a cold call), I see now this approach was not a good one and I can assure you it won’t happen again. At the end of the day my company pays me to be a business developer, as I’m sure YOUR COMPANY has similar Account Managers doing similar sales tactics to develop accounts of theirs. I will note in my CRM that you do not want to be contacted (which should shield you for the future in case I am no longer here) and I will stop calling you myself.

I sincerely hope for a future opportunity to prove I can be valuable to you and your team, yet I understand if that opportunity does not come. Feel free to reach out to me any time and by any means.

All The Best,
