    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.
