NFL Icebreakers For Salespeople

When you work in sales, building rapport with people is pretty much one of the most important aspects of your job. So what happens when you can’t figure out how to break the ice? You guessed it – talk about sports!

Assuming your clients love sports, starting a conversation off with football is always a good way to go. To help everyone out this week, we brought in TheLeadSports to provide some NFL icebreakers for clients in every city…

MIAMI: Tough loss to the Jets. What do you hate more? Joe Philbin’s offense or tourists doing Scarface impressions?

CINCINNATI: Andy Dalton looks fantastic! Do you think the Bengals drafted him for his arm or because his hair perfectly matches the shade of orange in their jerseys?

TAMPA BAY: Soooo…sucks about Jameis Winston.

CHICAGO: Congrats on the win against the Raiders! Quick question: how big is the market in your town for “Cut Cutler” t-shirts?

WASHINGTON: Is it okay if I just refer to your team as “Washington” instead of “Redskins?” HR is next door and they’d be pissed if I started disparaging Native Americans in the office…

INDIANAPOLIS: Happy that you guys are back at 2-2, but seriously, how bad is Andrew Luck in those DirecTV commercials?

HOUSTON: How about them Astros?

DENVER: Is the rumor true about Peyton? Is his right arm really being held together by Papa John’s mozzarella?

ST. LOUIS: Are you still going to root for the Rams when they move to Los Angeles?

MINNESOTA: I’ll give you 25% off your next order if you can name half of Adrian Peterson’s kids…
