You will burn in Hell for the Closed Won Deal

We have all been there, a deal you should close, but you freaking do it anyway. Because, well... commish right?


My deal:

Selling copiers/printers to an Elderly Home. They could have saved 30% by going with a competitor, and would have invested this money to hire more staff (they were so understaffed, it was the saddest thing). I got them to sign the deal just to get rid of my persistent ass, and the competitor was on sick leave.


I will probably go to Hell for this. But I know this community, there is probably Way Worse than that....

@CuriousFoxย how did you let this fool edge in on your turf? Printing solutions in a Life Alert care center? I need you to take a baseball bat to these machines.

As long as you run a clean cycle, what the company does is no business of mine.

There was a phase I had a size huddle selling DJ services. The DJs I represented were pretty unreliable but they paid cash soโ€ฆโ€ฆ.

The only thing I've ever done is close a deal that I know is going to be such a pain in the ass. But once the deal is closed it moves on to fulfillment so I don't have to deal with them anymore haha.
