I just wrote an alternate reply. I put together a quick draft and made one quick round of edits. It’s the email that would have gotten her my time.

Thanks for stopping by, Lorraine. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to wishing I’d written most of your posts … #sigh #writerenvy

I totally relate to your frustration. But, I’m curious, what SHOULD have this sales rep done to keep the pathways open and their station on your radar screen for future buys?
