David Rynne says, “As a sales professional, I hate it when I see other salespeople doing things that give the profession a bad name. Recently, I was on the receiving end of a sales strategy so bad I felt compelled to write a blog post about it to warn other sales reps — don’t do this!

The sales rep, PK (his name has been changed), works at an IT consulting and tech services company.
I work for a tech company in Business Development and have nothing to do with the services he is offering, nor am I the decision maker. Yet, PK visited my LinkedIn profile one day and decided to shoot a prospecting email to the address attached to my profile.

Things started out fine, but not great, with his first email on February 17:

Hello David,

I hope things are good with you.
