Years in the AV world expose you to it allโ€”

the โ€œgeniusโ€ sales tactics, the polished pitches, the illusion of strategy.

Some โ€˜opportunitiesโ€™ arenโ€™t opportunitiesโ€”theyโ€™re just temperature checks to see how negotiable you are.

Example of the playbook:

โ–ช๏ธFake job posts 

โ–ช๏ธBid shopping 

โ–ช๏ธSilence 

โ–ช๏ธProject or job strategy

โ–ช๏ธFake competitive bids or competition

โ–ช๏ธRevisions

โ–ช๏ธScope creep

โ–ช๏ธPrice anchoring

โ–ช๏ธTesting desperation

โ–ช๏ธSales techniques disguised as operational agreements

โ–ช๏ธSmall job today; big opportunity tomorrow

โ–ช๏ธFalse urgency

โ–ช๏ธBait-and-Switch Engagement

โ–ช๏ธSocial Engineering

โ–ช๏ธResource Fishing

โ–ช๏ธThose persistent lurkers on your profile are one of the worst. Is it a sales tactic or a security concern? 

I have witnessed firsthand how teams lie to my face, only to be exposed 30 minutes later. Then the sales tricks are replaced by silence.

Some believe that talking implies negotiation. No matter how creative those tricks are, you can smell it a mile away.

Companies or individuals using pushy sales tactics, will be blocked across someโ€”or allโ€”of my social channels.

At times, due to how interconnected social platforms are, Iโ€™ve had to make the difficult decision to restrict visibility across an entire organization.

Individual employees are a direct reflection of your companyโ€™s brand. Actions taken behind the scenes by a single team member can create reputational challenges.

As always, I never reply to inappropriate or negative comments; organizations or individuals are blocked. Sometimes that means everyone that works for a company.

My commitment stays the same: top-quality service and consistent rates.

If things change and I can genuinely help with future projects, donโ€™t hesitate to reach out. Letโ€™s keep it professional.

Thank you
