Many years ago I did coding for a web hosting company. They actually had a retail store in the front with the rest of us in the back.
Twice a year an AT&T business sales guy would come through and he'd always have three trainees with him. The boss would never have the time to meet with him. So I interacted with him and trying to be helpful I told him when our contract was up. I said if you come by within 30 days of the contracts expiration you might have a chance at the business.
He never even wrote the date down. He came through every six months on a set schedule and always with the three different trainees. I wondered if he even wanted the business? Or maybe felt they wouldn't let him be competitive. Either way he wasn't the guy AT&T wanted training other sales guys cause he set a poor example.
