Talk about adding insult to injury.
Rosie Lyons took to LinkedIn to share a particularly bizarre rejection letter she received from a prospective client. In the email, the client politely informed her that he would not be paying for her services before comparing her to a creepy doll on the television.
“Do you see it?” he asked along with a photo of the antique doll.
The internet was baffled by the unhinged email, though they found the interaction hilarious if not a touch on the rude side.
“How do I even reply?” — this woman was left speechless by a rejection letter that compared her to a creepy antique doll
Here’s the full email:
Rosie Lyons said the email was “the most confusing insult I’ve ever received”
“I was cold calling for my company ‘We Have A Meeting’ – we’re a B2B sales agency that generates leads for companies, so I was on the search for new clients,” Rosie told Bored Panda. “The email starts off quite normally, so I was taken aback when I saw the picture they attached of my so-called lookalike! It was hilarious to recognize it as the most confusing insult I’ve ever received.”
She continued: “I didn’t respond on the day because I was left so confused. Was this mind games? Was this a way to remember me for the future? Was this lack of respect for a pesky cold caller? – I had too many questions!”
“I’ve had people message me with response ideas, but I’ve decided to play the long game by using it as power move on the prospect when I call back. Remember that haunted doll lady you spoke to last year? You owe her this.’”
Rosie is taking the jab in stride and considering how to use the viral moment to her advantage
“I’ve been humbled by people who see the resemblance and been given great advice on how to use the post to my advantage,” she said.
“I also changed my profile pic to the photo of the doll, and people were asking me to send photos of myself to see if we’re similar,” Rosie added. “I also didn’t realize people (men) use LinkedIn to try and graft??? I’m not single or ready to mingle, so that’s been fun to decipher from people who aren’t. They might stop once they see how much I do, in fact, look like the doll.”
She continued: “When it’s done well and with the right methodology, while not taking things too seriously, you might be EVER so lucky as to be compared to crusty old doll with a mohair wig! And to humbly brag while I’m here, you could also cold call your way to win tens of thousands £££ worth of new business for yourself and your clients!”
The internet can’t stop laughing at the unexpected comparison
