To learn more about this situation, we reached out to Rosie Lyons, who shared this conversation on LinkedIn. Rosie was kind enough to have a chat withBored Pandaand explain how she got in touch with this person in the first place.
“I was cold calling for my company ‘We Have A Meeting’ – we’re a B2B sales agency that generates leads for companies, so I was on the search for newclients,” Rosie shared. “The email starts off quite normally, so I was taken aback when I saw the picture they attached of my so-called lookalike! It was hilarious to recognize it as the most confusing insult I’ve ever received.”
We were also curious if Rosie ended up replying or if she plans to reach out in the future. “I didn’t respond on the day because I was left so confused. Was this mind games? Was this a way to remember me for the future? Was this lack of respect for a pesky cold caller? – I had too many questions!”

“I also changed my profile pic to the photo of the doll, and people were asking me to send photos of myself to see if we’re similar,” Rosie added with a laugh. “I also didn’t realize people (men) use LinkedIn to try and graft??? I’m not single or ready to mingle, so that’s been fun to decipher from people who aren’t. They might stop once they see how much I do, in fact, look like the doll.”
Finally, Rosie shared that good things can come from cold calling, despite the fact that it has a bad rap. “When it’s done well and with the right methodology, while not taking things too seriously, you might be EVER so lucky as to be compared to crusty old doll with a mohair wig! And to humbly brag while I’m here, you could also cold call your way to win tens of thousands £££ worth of new business for yourself and your clients!”
