ADVICE PLEASE

My colleague is a lovely person but she is highly competitive. We are sales reps and she is always comparing her weekly sales to mine which there is no point doing this as we will always have different weeks for whatever reasons..

Anyway after each appointmennt she will ask me who they are, where they are located and what they do... I find this really annoying as there is no need for her to know this information and I do not do the same to her.. I respect that they are her customers and leave it at that.. Therefore I can't help but think she has a hidden agenda...

So my question is.. How do I tell her to basically "back the fuck off" (sorry, really frustrated, this has gone on for months)

Can someone please help me?

Thanks

The next time she inquires, respond "Why do you ask?".

Hi thanks for replying... I tried that maybe once or twice and she will say something like "oh he looks familiar".. "or just wondering".. what do you say to that?

To "Oh, he looks familiar.": "Everyone looks familiar to you, huh?"

To "Just wondering.": "Curiousity killed the cat."

Both delivered with a knowing smile.

hug good luck

there is no law that you HAVE to answer questions when asked

and what you said right here ..."I find this really annoying as there is no need for her to know this information and I do not do the same to her"

sounds like the perfect thing to say to her next time she questions you
