I worked in sales for years...and the only way I believe in the job is to provide exceptional customer experience! IF the sales person cannot provide any customer service then they are not professional sales people, IMO.

this "schpeel" is actually funny sometimes...I love to ask them about the products they are trying to sell...many of them know nothing about them at all...they just learn the script and that is it!

it is more about building a 'relationship' with that person so you can provide them with something that meets a need of theirs...

there are professional sales people who respect the person, and then there are those who just have no clue...I suppose there are a few in the middle somewhere as well...

If the person doesn't know about the product, and cannot answer my questions, then they don't get my time or any money from me.

aggressive sales people are much different than assertive sales people as well...





Actually i used to buy stuff as part of my job, so obviously i had to deal with sales people directly. But it was always on my terms, and the products would always be ones i was looking to buy anyway.

I guess i was specifically referring to the people that try to sell me something i dont want.

I used to sell reverse osmosis water softening systems.

"you won a free set of steak knives. All you have to do is listen to our presentation"

I was terrible at it. I sook as a salesman. well, soft sell I'm good at but not this

they would say "we just can't afford it"

and I would say "I understand and I don't blame you"

and my boss would smack the back of my head

car salesmen are some of the worst. i've met a few really good ones but most are useless to me. they usually know nothing about cars, even the ones they're selling. i was test driving a 1990 zr-1 corvette one time and the guy said the big block gave it plenty of "get up and go". first, the lt-5 is not a big block and second, "get up and go" is in the same category as "sporty". it doesn't really mean anything and you should never say it to a car guy.

I hate people trying to sell me anything, and i refuse to let them. No matter how good the salesman might be, he aint ever gonna get a sale from me.

Anyone else the same? Or are some of you more susceptible to their techniques.


I have an offer you can't refuse Dan! This once in a lifetime offer is for you and only you! That's right Dan! Only you!

I have in my possession one tennis shoe, that's right Dan! One whole tennis shoe! And I'm even willing to cut the price in half! My God Dan, this deal just keeps getting better for you! For one small price of 19.99 USD you can have this whole shoe all to yourself! Your very own tennis shoe Dan, isn't this exciting?! All I need from you is your credit card information and address to send the item too, and it is all yours!

I had a salesman using the "hard sales" pitch at me one day. On and on he went. I was quite amused. And I played along like a total rube. When it was all over I blew the nastiest smelling fart I've ever dropped. I'm telling you eye watering death. When that salesman jumped back gagging and vomiting I quickly closed the door. I have never heard from that jehovahs witness again.
