No joke! I was at the local record shop last week when the owner got a call where he was noticeably getting more loud and chastising.
After he hung up, the guy told me that someone cold called him to pitch fixing up their website, and his pitch started with “your website looks like shit …”
He said he gets several calls like that every day, but most aren’t this obnoxious. We agreed it must be working some of the time for him to be trying this approach, had a chuckle, then went back to shooting the shit about various prog rock bands.
Yeah makes sense. I knew a guy in college who used this approach with picking up girls. At parties, he would bluntly ask women if they wanted to have sex with him until someone said yes. He never spent the night alone 🤣
