On the phone with a potential client today, he remarked suddenly after minutes into our conversation, 'You sound very intelligent.'
I was caught completely off-guard by his comment. Most people aren't exactly friendly towards sales persons, let alone paying them compliments. Besides, it is not often that I get such praise. And I wonder why. *wink*
Anyhow, I stammered a little before I managed to spit out, 'Oh, you are very kind..... *pause* Errr... I am just doing my job...'
Which did not sound a wee bit intelligent at all. And I even forgot to thank him!
So, who the idiot really?

That´s such a Sweet comment! OH boy, it must have made your day! Yah, it would have been appropriate to say, "thanks". hahah. But I do get caught offguard too, when my students sometimes just say, "Wow, you´re a really good teacher" And I have to be like "hmmm, did he really say that? Or was I imagining things". I hear more complaints than compliments, so when people DO compliment, it really makes my day!
Did this client become your client then?
Not yet, it will take sometime before that happens.
Yes, it's really nice to receive compliments whether they are true or not. Heh.
