Have to have some new business cards made up for our outside rep, now he's a very young 65 so I need to think of a job title for his cards.
Rather than the usual sales executive I'm trying to think of an acronym to do with OAP or maybe something to do with him being bald?
Over to you guys smile

No they're meant to get your name and business contact details in front of your customer, but if my customers are anything like me they'll take a cursory glance and then stick it with the rest.
However if I make them slightly amusing then they might show the card to someone else when he's left and they might have a giggle over it, therefore keeping him and the company in their mind smile

^ It's your business, so you can do what you like.. However, if I had 3 business cards in my drawer for potential work, and 1 said "sales pensioner" on it, I'd probably call the other 2 first. It's your call whether the increased interest in the "amusing" camp outweighs the decreased interest from miserable buggers like me. The 50% in the middle won't mind either way =)

Reminds me of a team building exercise I was forced to endure, the boss wanted a mission statement for the service department, service engineers can be be a very cynical bunch. The first suggestion was..

Fast Action Repair Team - the boss actually wrote this one of the chart but was wary of the next one.
Care Repair And Productivity.

Still Ford did have a Cost Reduced Audio Products Manager.

Maybe just the word 'Senior' slightly offset from centre so it looks like there should be a word following it.
