        Before they demo a machine to a customer turn the display to japanese!!!

        Just remember how to turn it back again when you sweep in to save the day

          This should take care of it. Hide it in a ceiling panel or tape it to the back of a desk against a wall.

            Nah...I like most of the sales guys around here. Most of them...we train them. They at least have laser theory and can read a manual. The receiving clerk on the other hand...I can think of a few things I'd like to do to that person.

              Allow me to quote myself above, this should do the trick.

                Tell him that a rep at a neighboring branch has a newer and better specified Mercedes/BMW/Porsche than the one he's got?

                Tell him that holding his iPhone six inches from his face whilst making a call is not going to win him a place on "The Apprentice"?

                  Throw some copies of staples or paperclips back in the drawers.
                  Works best when they have a demo.
                  Why do they call it common sense?

                  If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                    I was going to suggest putting some colour copies in the draw of a mono machine but that could backfire on us by saying the service tech will sort it out!!!

                      This would work better if you got your boss to go along with it as a joke. Make a fake letter from management, that states something like... "in an effort to stop the techs from talking bad about the company, we have decided that the salesman will split the sales comission with the tech that works that area. We believe it will even out with an increase in sales leads from the techs." Add some filler and make it look official, then film him as he knocks people over when he runs to the bosses office, letter in hand.

                        Do a prank call. Pretend you are a client (a big money making one), call him up, keep it on speaker phone in a room with you and other techs. You are in a board meeting or conference. Tell them you want them to personally come out and fix the problem your machine is having. Try not to laugh.


                        "No, I want you to come fix it! You sold us this piece of crap, you come out and fix it, personally. You told us it would copy in color, it's only black and white..."

                            I made an award certificate with the name of the sales weasel that I targeted, I wrote Best Sales performance BLAH BLAH. I wrote a fake congratulations letter, put it in an envelope tried to make it as official as possible. Put it in thier mail inbox and let them walk all over the office thinking they are the AWESOME. I still LMAO every time I think of that April Fool's joke, you'll enjoy months of humor. GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES!!
