I be you that every rep has had an expirience like that.
Drove once in the old days from a remote city to a small town in the boondocks to see an optometrist. The drive wa 8o miles one way...........the OD let me sit in the waiting room for 90 minutes and then it was finally my turn. He declared that he needed a pair of temples that at the time sold for $ 2.00 and needed nothing else. The wole afternoon was shot and I never went back to see him.
First women salesrep in optical trade...........................
In August 1970 I hired a blonde good looking women as a rep that wanted to get out of commercial modelling and start a new career. Her present contract was going till the end of September so she could start only October 1st.
In the meantime I spread the rumor that my company was putting good looking women on the road as reps.
My competitors reps called me crazy and spread the rumor all around that Chris Ryser was nuts by putting sexy women on the road.
:D :bbg:
When "Francine" came back after one week in Quebec City she had a selling rate of 100% and her commission was double the income she had made as a model.
Everybody had been waiting to see her because the competition had talked so much about Chris Ryser's sexy reps. From then on I added quite a few more and most of them did very well.
Ground rules......................

In the late 60s and earlt 70s women would not run any accounts, I believe there were maybe 2 accounts in Canadian optics were women were iin charge.
So Francine did not have to sell any sexiness, the guy's just loved her and . We used to say that she had a garbage face.................which meant any garbage frame looked good on her.
