E.) There are those here that have other types of sales jobs and I would bet you that some of them make car sales look like childs play. But how many forums out there are set up so the customers can rag on what you do and how poorly you do it? Maybe there needs to be a forum where people can go an critique other sales professions and pick apart everything they do. Sounds good...maybe I'll start one up.

No joke...this just happened about 30 minutes ago. Me: "Welcome to Toyota of XYZ...my name is Alejandro. How can I assist you today?" Customer: "How many miles does that Lexus have on it?" (Points to the Lexus right outside the showroom). Me: "39,000 sir" Customer: "That's to many miles for that price..."(walks away from me and leaves the showroom). And the best part is that he kinda waved me off with his hand too. I can't tell you how much I wanted to drop that guy. |

Replying to: driver100 (Nov 28, 2008 1:31 pm) When we started the adoption process - not for fertility reasons; just seemed like a good thing to do - we got about halfway through and my wife got pregnant. We ended up going through with things and since my wife had to stay home with a nine month old I took my oldest daughter, then 13, along to help. So my youngest bio and my adopted daughter are actually born the same day. We'll never know which one is older. They're both 7 now. The older ones are 19 and 16. I lay low.... Moo -have some real fun - get a bike for your travels!... |

Single male just walked through the door.... I stayed in my seat and pretended I was emailing a customer.... Another salesmen just got him. Sounds like a pure stroke. Customer doesn't know a thing about Toyotas.....I can see the sticker shock setting in. |
