Business news, stories and rants

I was looking at lead generation companies and came across one with an impressive website and promising credentials.  As always, my next click was to the ”About Us” page.  To their credit, they have listed all team members with short profiles as well as photos.  I dont like faceless companies, so another browny point to them….then I began to read the profiles, which for each team member included a favouirie quote.  The office manager’s was:

“In the morning I’ll be sober, but you my dear will still be ugly.” Winston Churchill

Hmmm… she surely isn’t refering to clients, is she?  Maybe she is better to stay in office…. so I quickly scrolled away to see what the 2 senior business development managers’  favourite quotes were:

“I’ll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.” George W. Bush

 … and …

“Sex Panther by Odeon. This stuff is illegal in 9 countries. It’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good… They’ve done studies, you know. They say 60% of the time, it works every time.” Anchorman

Just how exactly do these guys earn any money from business devlopment?  Or did I miss  the new trend of “S&M business development” for customers who just love to be short-changed, disliked and, for some extra, made fun of?
