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.
