[Eril-l] Policy for saying "polite no" to overzealous cold-calling/emailing sales reps, and random LibGuide recommendations?

[Vickie Kline]

I had a unique experience the other day.    I received an email request to
set up a phone conversation with a new vendor.

(OK, that's nothing new.)

The vendor rep included his photo.   But it wasn't a traditional business
headshot...

(Manly man, open collar, rakish come hither look.)

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to reply or swipe right!

😳

Still laughing...
