Dating can be difficult when you have a sales job. It’s a demanding profession that can take up a lot of your time and not leave much energy for a romantic life. But for salespeople looking for ways to start conversations with people they may be interested in dating, whether in person or online, here are some opening lines that might help:
1. “Do you come here often? I don’t, because I work 90 hours per week.”
2. “I make cold-calls all day, but if you give me your number, it will be a hot-call.”
3. “I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away and I have very high blood pressure from the stress of my sales job.”
4. “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because I can get you a great deal on some insurance!”
5. “What’s your sign? What’s your ideal price range?”
6. “Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all day, along with the fear that I won’t hit my bonus.”
7. “Do you believe in love at first sight? How about closing a deal on the first pitch?”
8. “I didn’t know that angels could fly so low or that sales quotas could be so high!”
