Business Gender Types

I was waiting for a friend to get back to the table we were at in a coffee shop and there was a pen on our table. An older man sitting a couple of tables away started talking to me. He told me that he had been a salesman all his life. And a lot of his clients were men with big offices with pictures of their kids or of fish they had caught on fishing trips.

I was a little confused about why he was telling me this. He went on to say that when he went in to see these clients, his job was easy. He would talk about the fish the guy caught, the guy’s kids, and other stuff about the guy’s life for an hour or so and then maybe would spend a few minutes taking an order.

He said that when he went to a woman’s office she was usually sitting at her desk with a pen and a notepad. And he knew he had better know about his product because she would know everything about his product and the conversation was all business. He said my sitting at the table with the pen on it reminded him of that. I thought that was interesting.

Blessings!
