Yall have to be kidding me. I have tooling salesmen hounding me daily. Most of them don't get the idea that if I want something they're selling, I'll call or email them and let them know. I can't stop 4 times a day to meet with the new sales rep for every company in the country that sells endmills. The ones that don't get on my nerves and sharpen their pencils when they price their stuff get the PO's.
I'm not in tool sales, but started out with a sales territory that didn't produce anything. It all started with picking up the phone. I know it may be frustrating on your end, but a salesguy has no idea who else is calling you. Their only goal is to put food on the table.
What's crazy is the % of customer you will call 30 days after you called them originally and sent an email to say " I wish you would've called me last week. I just bought xxxx".
