Female Marketer Vs Her Client

Hi all

I am  currently working on a major deal with a new client and and recently my client's attitude towards me has been less than professional, for one
i have to meet him for lunch or dinner for meetings and  when he send text messages to me he refers to me as honey /sweetheart.The most annoying is that recently he gave me a hug right in front of my female colleague However he hasn't come one to me directly or asked me out directly i really do need advise on how to  tell him in a subtle manner  to back off without offending him i  really need to close the deal.

PS Did i mention that i recently got married and he is aware

Thanks my dear but my  management is aware of the deal and i cat let go of it that easily and i cant simply tell my boss that i have to drop the account becos my client tells me i  have nice legs and i should wear short skirts always  etc etc. Are you saying you let go of every deal that the client comes on to you or makes a pass at you.

Correct guy, never a dull moment, no wonder michael jackson tagged his ''place'' NEVER LAND""!, just my kinda person, hey sweet i beleive u are irresistible,  and going by the normal parlance ''man must wach mehn''! remember why you are in your comapny, ''to meet your target'', in fackt the bobo slow sef, if i were in his shoes, walahi i for don lay u, cos i trust me, thank God my job does not entail marketers coming to meet me, wo i fo sho una pepper, bobo mo go on soun jo, be good, shalom!

This happens every day, even married women fall for this so u would have to be strong till the deal is closed! Becos if u back out, the client might back off from the deal, your company is aware of his advances but they value his money more than u so the ball is in your court!

 jennyo, you are not alone. it is a practice in naija for companies to employ females, especially pretty ones, as marketers thereby giving the prestigious marketing profession a thing called corporate prostitution. i know ladies who meet and exceed targets cos they give a bit more than professional service to rich male clients.
male marketers re not left out in the hands of rich madams.
my advice for u is to weigh your odds, trust me, your husband may not understand if he sees your sms's or witness u being hugged by your client. pray also,

You need to apply wisdom and I mean wisdom.

You have to capitalize on the fact that he knows you are married. Below are some of the things you can apply

1. Discuss him with your husband and tell your husband to call him and thank him for assisting to get a deal for his wife

2. Address him ''Oga mi sir'' and jokingly tell him ''Oga mi, I got your text yesterday thanks. My husband saw the ''sweetheart'' part and I had to explain to him that you called everybody sweetheart in my office. He was a bit jealous but since he trusts me he believed me. Abeg o you know our husbands can be jealous, ''

3. Don't stop going to lunch and Dinner with him. Always avoid too personal discussions with him. You guys can discuss the economy, power problems etc

The man sent u those texts with ''Sweetheart'' to feel you. He's using psychology on you and you have to be smart too.

He will not ask you out until he's sure you will play ball. Dont ever give him the impression you will tag along with him, at the same time, be diplomatic.

Above all, report him to Papa God ;

He will not have peace until he closes the deal with you!

If you are married, i want to advice you that you should not let your reputation down. I know women are easily deceived and convienced, there is nothing bad for you telling him that  you are not for such rather you business. say the truth and shame the devil

Pray to God and he will solve all of this.

Sincerely 2 me iit as normal, since he hasnt asked u out, he may be trying to be frindly, just make sure u understand his gesture and dont misunderstand him, he may be studing u him self, he may have a problem he wants to pour out but wants to know u first, just dont go to private places with him. if he insist on dinner date tell him u are running errands for your husband and if he insist, go for the sake of your job, and in the middle of a great conversation, pretend to want to throw up, tell him uve taken in. see him as a friend but let your husband know every step. God will give u a good understaning on the ways of men and i pray soon u  will have a good reason to stop being a marketer then u can tell him to roast, i wish u luck though. and mind u most men that have stayed so long abroad does that with no intensions. GOOD LUCK . show him u love your marriage than the job. give him an impresion that u care less if he takes his account. even though u care. just show an i dont care attitude. if u show him your job is dependant on his account, believe me he will take advantage.

This is some tough shyte

these are the kind of people that spoil female marketers

  . sis, y not apply for other professional courses,  maybe outside your field, to back up what you already have?? marketing job  is one job i HATE whole heartedly, honestly

As far as corporate organization will continue to send beautiful ladies to chase money bags as potential customers, this evil will not end
