The Sales Drones – A One Scene Play

The sales drones of today – A one scene play.

[Salesperson at Bar, Buyer arrives]

Pleased to meet you, have you heard of our portfolio? We have the best [insert category here].

Our portfolio of wines are never [insert technical fact here] or [insert another tech fact].

Cool cool, I love the space.

Ooooh, I love that champagne, I had it with [insert name of known buyer instagram friend].

Didn’t we meet at Compagnie? I was so [you know].

Oh, yeah – I think we did meet at that thing…best [insert sexy event] in the city.

Sorry, it is locked up for [insert hot shit resto here] – she took it all. Damn.

“ Faceless drones talking sweet sending that pretty sheet...

I do have this, [insert trendy-licious spot] used to pour it. I could maybe get you a few cases.

Let me send you a sevenfifty sheet with some other stuff.

You around next week?

Fin.

Simply notice the difference.

How would you do this if there was no meaningless dialogue dance?

What if you could only ask two questions?
