The Hard Sell on the Road to RecruitFest


The hard sell
Originally uploaded by steveboese

On the way to RecruitFest 2009, at about 10PM while I was waiting in the parking lot of the Galleria Mall in Buffalo (a longer story), I got approached by three guys in really cheap suits that handed my this DVD. They wanted my e-mail address, asked if I had a job, etc.b

These guys apparently run some kind of multi-level marketing program or something.

My question to them was, is your target market really random dudes (me) hanging out in mall parking lots at 10PM on a Tuesday?

It reminds me of the old Groucho Marx line, 'I would not want to be a member of a club that would have me'.

Weird and random I know.

They probably weren't running the business, but I'm guessing they get paid daily for making the contacts!

That's what you get for sitting in the Mall parking lot at 10pm. ~grin~
Even if you were doing a good deed.

It was a little strange though to get the work over like that in that kind of setting. I need to hang out in a better part of town I guess!
