Ha! I love the description of the 'Sultry Sex Kitten'....

I work in corporate sales, so I am on the phone constantly. I once put a friend on hold while I was talking to a client, but he could hear me clearly. When I hung up the call and continued on my cell phone, he joked: What's up with the phone sex voice? I thought he was just being a jerk Wink

I wanted to strangle him but maybe I should look at marketing that instead.... ;P

But seriously, I thought those types of voices are out along with the Voice of God. But it sounds like the age old 'we want the same, only different'.....

Good article...and the comments are indeed hilarious!

Go to your local kareoke bar and listen to yourself and have fun because thats all your going to be doing with it.

Nothing like one-on-one networking in a bar... or was this covered in the Advanced Marketing class?

readers of the article need to remember to get a Doberman to guard those sacks of money that will soon appear on the front porch

My computer also came with clients. They live in my basement now, and I only let them out to pay me.

I make mine slip the envelope under the door. Too big of a risk to let them out.

Ah yes, THOSE imaginary friends. I got those too... and the optional tinfoil hat plugin.
