I got hung up on for the first time today.  I didn't break any rules or etiquette, but she got a little intimidated by my profession.

Fortunately I called back and was able to redeem myself.

Question:

I sell guns.  WHAT would be the best way to present that?

Thank you ladies, I don't like being hung up on, it's an erection killer.

"I am a retailer in personal protection products"

Unless you are an outright gunrunner in which case finding a provider should be the least of your challenges. lol

Hmmmm yea that could work.

It just becomes an issue with follow up questions.

"What kind of 'personal protection products'?

Pepper Spray Mace Stun Guns Handcuffs.......PROBLEM! LOL

I'm not crazy I promise, I'm fortunate to have a job that is also a hobby.

Then id think you were selling maxi pads

It kills me how much money girls give up -
id just Frisk ya before entering the room -
Now that could be fun

Re: Then id think you were selling maxi pads

Thanks Ciara, I could use a good frisking.

Just tell them you sell sports equipment.

IMHO there are certain subjects that can cause an unusually high amount of friction b/w a provider & hobbyist(and not the good kind).  These often include guns, hunting, etc.  I imagine the problem was with the providers opinion.
