The Worse Sales Meeting Ever!!!
After attending a medical device sales meeting in Ormond Beach, FL. I drove back to Orlando to catch a flight to Greensboro, NC. Since the meeting was only for a few hours, I had one carry on bag. During the meeting, a sales representative from XY (I can't reveal the name) company showed our sales team the latest technology for speculums, (For Women Only). He showed us inflatable speculums, YES INFLATABLE, and I knew these would sell fast because they are less invasive and more comfortable for women.
I filled my carry on bag with about 80 of these and when I walked through the screening, I was stopped by 3 TSA workers. They thought the inflatable speculums were bombs. I said, "Do you know what these are? These are medical devices for women." The woman said, "Show us what these are used for! Seeing the line of people behind me were getting a tab restless I took one out of the bag, inflated it and and said, "See, they even have lighting tubes inside." Do you want to know where the light comes from?", I asked the woman and she said with a blushing face, "No that is OK. You can move on to your terminal."
Later, while on the plane, a few women who witnessed the ordeal, ask me if they could have one for themselves. They even said my demonstration was great. I never gave them any inflatables.
