Don't Tell me your Schedule is Filling up When I Have Access to Your Calendly!
I'm a Director of a Product Development and Manufacturing Services company so I constantly have Sales Agencies reaching out to me trying to help sell our services to other manufacturers or retailers. We typically don't like to work with these types of companies since our sales cycle is rather long and these agencies mostly take a percentage + a monthly fixed fee. The fixed fee never works for us since it takes at least 2-4 months to develop a custom product so I typically tell the agencies we aren't interested.
Anyways, last week I had a guy reach out to me trying to sell his Sales Rep Agency and how they can help us grow our business. I always nip it in the bud quickly by saying "We're only interested in Commission-Only Agencies" so they become uninterested and backoff. Unfortunately this guy wrote back and said he's only here to talk about commission-only sales reps and to book a time on his calendly to discuss how they can help my company.
I never responded as I'm uninterested, but today I received an email from him that said
"Hi Gretsch Handler, if it's all the same to you; I'd encourage you to book our call, sooner rather than later. My calendar slots this week are already filling up. Just sayin',"
I then went to look at his Calendly and he had every single time available from 6AM - 9PM at night for each day of the week AND he's U.S. based like myself.
I get the reasoning to pressure me into a meeting but that's also a guaranteed way for me not to book a meeting with you.
What’s something cheeky I can write back to him?
