Had a company reach out via LinkedIn for an interview and the dude was rude (over the phone) and his only question was “Sell me a pen”. I responded:
I know a guy in Tanzania who smuggles gold for 50 cents on the dollar who knows a guy who can forge it into pure gold pens for $.60 on the dollar and after my cut I can sell to you for $.80 on the dollar by weight. How many do you want to buy? He was offended and gave feedback that that’s not what the question was about. I told him if their product was good that’s what the conversation would be and if I had any sense I would load up the boat. I would have definitely bought that pen.
