Blogging My Life...
Every now and then an office supplies guy stops by the office trying to solicit business from my company.
Since we are a very digitized company, we don't have the need for much office supplies. I stock up maybe once or twice a year and that is more than enough.
One came in the office today and one of my guys sent him away. I said, hmm. Next time one comes in, I want you to tell him that we want to buy a "No Soliciting" sign for the front door.
All office supplies stores sell them, so they must be able to be able to sell us one. Why rub it in the face of the sales guy? Because there is a no soliciting sign right by the elevators.

I'm sure whatever company you run or work for requires someone within your organization to make a proactive effort to gain new clients. Perhaps that person must send "annoying" emails or makes "interrupting" calls - it's just business. You should realize we are all just trying to make a living, but agreeably, some people are more obnoxious than others.

I sell office supplies. If I see a no soliciting sign, I do not go in. I may call and try to get an appointment.
Best solution, ge the sign.
