My Lead Wanted To Hook Up With Me.

Yo,

On September 1, 2026, at 11:19 PM IST, I got these two tiny messages:

As an entrepreneur and a marketer, my first instinct is to reply to leads within minutes. 

And I did, as you can see: 

So the conversation goes on. I introduced myself.

Then, without any business details, he straight up said: "Meet me at x place at 4 p.m."

I replied: "Yeah, let's do this. But send me details"

(The convo is in Odia, so let me tell you what he said.)

He said: "I have my restaurant. I need a PR team. I will offer you a good package. Deal?"

I said: "Yeah….can you send your restaurant's social page, please? I want to do some research before coming."

So I followed up again. He asked: "What is your package, buddy?"

I said: "It depends on your business needs and goals, especially."

He said: "1 million views, 10K followers. My goal is to reach more people through social media."

I said: "Okay, got it. I'm interested. Just send me your restaurant location and details."

Then again, he sent the same meeting location with a floor number. 

And with a note: "Good night and see ya."

I said: "Okay, I will come to the location you said. But just for verification, send me the business details first so I can do research and come well prepared."

Then, without saying anything about the business, he replied: "Do you smoke or not?"

I said: "No, I'm a very holistic and religious guy."

Then he said again: "Let's meet at that place."

I asked: “Yo, you own that Subway franchise place or what?

He: "No." (With Laugh emojis)

Convo goes on…

I asked the same thing 8 times: "Send me your business details."

Then I realised:

So I said: "Don't message me. Goodbye."

And he blocked me lol.

So, to get back at him, I made a roast video about him.

For wasting my time, making me uncomfortable, and also giving me a great lesson on how to handle these leads…
