Received a call in the office today.

Caller: Is this XYZ company (the name of our competitor)?

Me: Sorry, I think you called the wrong number.

Caller: Oh, then can you tell me how much is it to join their roadshow?

Duh!

Me: Sorry, I wouldn"t know as we are not of the same company.

Caller: Then do you know how I can contact XYZ company?

Look up the phone book, for goodness sake!

Me: I"m sorry but I don"t have the number.

Caller: How about the number of ABC company (another competitor)?

Really feel like strangling her through the phone right now! I"m imagining coiling the phone cord round her neck.... Too bad I"m using cordless phone.

Me: I"m sorry but we are not the same company and I don"t have the number.

Caller: Ok, bye!

Argh!

Even in such technical lines as engineering, about 15% of one's financial success is due one's technical knowledge and about 85% is due to skill in human engineering, to personality and the ability to lead people. - Dale Carnegie
