Dammit!

March 31st, 2006 by Sarah

11am ish
I am so rubbish at the hard sell! Had some customers in a moment ago who really shouldn’t have left the office without giving me a deposit first, and I let them walk. Steve is going to kill me …

UPDATE at 1.30pm:
Yay yay yay! They came back and bought the car!!

This is more of an achievement than usual as Russ is away so I did it all by myself and still feel very pleased with myself on such occasions. The words ‘white’ and ‘flag’ don’t enter into it, of course ;)

    Well done!

    Will you be in a celebratory mood tonight then?

    Well personally I walk away from anyone who tries to give me the hard sell, and never go back again, so perhaps you did exactly the right thing!!!

    +1 to Joanna.

    I usually know what I want and about what I want to buy (often, though not always a damn site better than the salesman) and need to make up my own mind.

    Your gentleness probably actually made that sale.

    :)

    I agree. Hard sell makes me walk away on principle. I could imagine a garage with both types of salespeople, where you could predict your customer type as they walk through the door (forcourt or whatever) would be pretty profitable.

    Hello, btw :-)

    Are you on Easter hols yet? We are :-) :-)

    Oh good, if I’m in moderation can you sort my spelling pretty-please?

    No, we have another week to go! You got moderated because of the new name/email, Heather, I don’t always moderate people because of their spelling ;) Has your computer finally died then, if you’re at the library?

    Puter very unwell. Have been offline for nearly a month. House very tidy, cuisine very experimental, OU course ahead of schedule, etc, etc.

    Will probably sort it soon though.
