i think i know bill.
bill: boss no one is coming in today the weather is to nice/bad
bill: boss everyone is just looking today
bill:boss the cust says the widget is the wrong shade of white.
bill: boss they want one with air instead of nitrogen in the tires.
bill: boss they need to ask their plumber if it is okay to buy today
bill is always in the bucket and his kids never wear shoes when he has the wife bring them up on hotdog day.
bill always breaks out the invoice then over allows the trade then complains he only made a mini.
bill always smokes GPC's and wears deadman clothes.
bill is always calling in late because his 86 taurus or 88 caddy wont start
i always refer bill to the yota store where my dog toby could close a deal.
ROFL..............

our subie rep said a lot of harley rider's flirted with him in traffic before he noticed and removed the stickers .
I get home at 8:00pm. I was surprised to see that my wife's friend had brought along a friend as well. He looked vaguely familiar, but I shrugged that off and greeted everyone. Kissed the wife, the baby, took off my shoes and grabbed a beer. The guests declined one. :P
So we sat and chitchatted a little bit about our kids and what was going on in each others lives. We talked for about 30 minutes and then the man guest starts to ask
questions about providing for our infant. He wonders if we have life insurance or a college fund for baby. My gut starts to feel a little bit funny, but I answer him kindly and let him know what we are doing. But then, he starts to go into a full blown presentation about what kind of benefits and options we had available. Ya, he opens up his briefcase and pulls out a freaking presentation.
My mind starts racing because I'm immediately pissed. In the past, I've just thrown people out of the house, but now I have a wife. I don't want to embarass her and her friend. So I interrupt his presentation and go to the kitchen to try and compose myself. I'm trying to think of a reasonable way to make this guy exit as quickly as possible. It's not working. All I want to do is throttle this guy because I haven't eaten, I'm tired and he's f#@$ing rude.
So I walk back into the living room and what do you know. My wife has told him this isn't a good time and perhaps he could just leave some information for us and we'll call if we have any questions. That's why I married my wife! They exit and I let my wife those 2 aren't welcome anymore.
I've never seen a ruder way of selling in my life. And then it hits me, this is the same guy I met about a year ago. We had met at my wife's friend's baby's christening. We had a conversation and he had eventually invited me to lunch to talk about some opportunities. When I eventually made it to lunch with him, he starts to push for me to sell insurance for him. He presents it as a part time job, but that's no part time job if you're going to be successful. I politely tell him no, even though he had never mentioned that he was going to be hawking insurance sales on me at lunch. He doesn't even pay for it!
This is a classic example of how NOT to sell. Don't go to people's houses under the guise of friendship and then all of sudden start pushing something. Don't invite people to lunch and not pay. Mackabee said it right, be kind and let people know what you do. Bottom line is, people buy from people they like. I wouldn't purchase insurance from this [non-permissible content removed] if he was the last man on earth.

From the beginning of this post I tought I was about to read a Penthouse Forum :P
That is a horrible way to settle down when you get home. Me personally i would have played with him acting all interested while getting a good buz on. Than tell him to go pound sand. :mad:

"How to master the art of sales", get something by Zig Zigler, anything, the guy is amazing and very motivational. Practice, drill and rehearse. On slow days where you don't see anyone on the lot get one of the other salesman and do a walk around as if you were selling him the car, ask for input and correct what you are doing wrong.
With three guys there and one doing 10 and the other 15 you should be getting your share. Don't give up. Relax and don't get stressed in front of customers, they can sense desperation in a second. Last but not least, invest in yourself. Set yourself apart from the other two. Dress better, clean cut, and smile no matter how bad you think you got it, someone has it worse.

I had the same thing happen with some friends of my ex-wife. That and the fact she is a lawyer is why she is my ex-wife
Primerica bothers me more as they call me (as a CPA) acting as a management recruiter, make false representations as to an opportunity, and then start talking about Primerica.
I thought you were a ruthless used car salesman?!

Make a good impression with everyone you speak to.
In the old days i would open the phone book and start with A and work my way to Z.
In most small towns people go to the bank or credit union for carloans,make sure to introduce yourself to the loan mgrs/officers. Create a program for outside lenders.(% over net to the cust they send you)
Create a program for civil workers (fireman,police,school teachers,county/city workers)
insurance agents are a good bird dog,cust call agents to ask about cars all the time(Mrs Deskman owns a insurance agency)
Chat with service cust,they are captive ups.
start sleeping with the receptionist so she will give you all the phone ups.
lie lie lie to make the deal! once they are burning gas who cares!!!!!!! only jokeing. :shades:
:P
It works.

Dumb kid, he should have bought instead of just rented. Much cheaper in the long run.

A few weeks later the cop is blowing up on the showroom and my owner comes out of his office and asked what he is upset about.(i did a 5 finger contract close and then stapled contract and put in envelope)Owner asked the cop when he planned to trade.the cop said in 2 years and my owner looks at the book and tears out the last 12 payments and said see you in 2 years to order your next car.
I asked the owner if i would get a charge back and he said the cops always send cars back to the bank and not to worry about it.
That's the line a salesman use on me once. I drove in in a badly battered 1991 Oldsmobile that my kids had dented on every surface and was covered in rust. The salesman said: "That's a great looking car, the Oldsmobiles are terrific vehicles".
Now you tell me he probably didn't really mean it.

"What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too &$%#ing high. "
The best ones today are Minority Preachers that travel the country.They sell cars and preach when not at the dealership.They last about 6 months then move to a new church and new dealership once they have beheaded all the church members on car deals and all the young female church members are knocked up.
