Sammy the Salesman

It’ s that time again for my next attempt to re-write another Christmas classic into a sales “song!” (Well, I do love Christmas for other reasons, but this is fun, too.) This time I took Frosty the Snowman and created ” Sammy the Salesman” who is every ISO’s dream prospector. Sing along and have some fun!

(Verse 1) Sammy the Salesman was a jolly happy soul, With a pitch deck and a smile and a quota to make whole. He called on the shops on Main Street every day, “Low rates and free terminals!” he’d cheerfully say.

(Chorus) Sammy the Salesman, was slick and so bold, He’d weave you a story, a tale to be sold. With promises whispered of riches untold, Sammy the Salesman, a master of old.

(Verse 2) He’d dazzle the merchants with charts and with graphs, And talk of PCI compliance and chargeback mishaps. He’d conjure up visions of lines out the door, With customers clamoring to pay and buy more.

(Chorus) Sammy the Salesman, was slick and so bold, He’d weave you a story, a tale to be sold. With promises whispered of riches untold, Sammy the Salesman, a master of old.

(Verse 3) But when the contracts were signed and the deals were all done, The rates would creep upwards, the troubles begun. The merchants would grumble, and Sammy’d be gone, To find new prospects, before the next dawn.

(Chorus) Sammy the Salesman, was slick and so bold, He’d weave you a story, a tale to be sold. With promises whispered of riches untold, Sammy the Salesman, a master of old.

(Outro) So if you see Sammy, with deals in his hand, Just smile and wave nicely, but don’t take a stand. He’ll melt away quickly, like frost on the pane, Leaving you wondering, if he’ll come again.

That concludes this years attempt of me of me butchering classic Christmas songs. With only 6 days left until Christmas it’s time to enjoy the season. Wrap some gifts, drink some eggnog and enjoy time with family and friends.

Happy Selling,

David
