Anyone here in sales?

Is anyone else here in sales? If so, what's the most fucked up thing you said to a customer when you were mad? Lol

"If I let you leave today without signing this contract, your just going to go home, sit down and watch tv and become even fatter than you are now!"
(Bally Total fitness, as a GM)
I figured, I'm either gonna get the sale or lose my job, lol. It worked!

One time at the same job I went in to close a deal for a new salesperson, I sat down on the other side of the desk and started to build some sort of relationship to the guys in front of me. I said,
"I'm not a fag or anything, but someone has some nice cologne on." As I leaned up closer to the gentleman in front of me I looked down and realized they were holding hands! Oops!

i once told a customer, if you don't pay up on this front, i'll have to take your thumbs, then i'm coming to your house and taking your fat wife's thumb's too.

We're uh... We're talking legit, professional sales huh?

Disregard that first part then.

I told a customer "if you don't pay your past due bill I'm taking your water cooler now out of this shitty ass house" I was in there house already and they said they were gonna call the cops so I grab that cooler and took off!! My boss had a good laugh

Lol. I've done a lot of weird things when with customers.

I remember one time a guy told me, "Well, this sounds like a good deal, but I need to talk to my wife about it."

I wanted to find a new way of handling that objection so I tried something new. I looked at him and started laughing. I told him, "Oh wow, what is she going to do, kick your ass? I'll be dammed if I ever let my woman control my life like she thinks I have no balls."

Lol. Needless to say, the guy took his sandy vagina and left my office.

That shit used to work way back when but not anymore. People are so conditioned against salespeople now that none of the pushy old school stuff works unless the person is extremely timid.

You have to give the guy a reason his wife not only won't be pissed at him, but will be happy he did it. Or have him call her while he's still with you. I sell to businesses and I always get the "I need to talk with my partner(s) first" so I always ask if we can call the partner right there on the spot. It actually works pretty well.

I suppose it depends what you're selling I guess. Anything 500 bucks or less you are a pussy if you have to ask your wife. If someone said that same thing to me when I was buying a vehicle or something I'd lose my shit.

I think anyone who need to ask their wife about anything at all is a pussy. Everything I bought from cars to dirtbikes to a boat, I never asked my wife jack fucking shit!!! I make the money and the decisions, she's just along for the ride. She did bitch about the dirtbikes though, but now she wants to go to the track with me and my son, go camping and riding, whole 9 yards. When I get her out there this year I'm gonna say "see, I told you buying that bike was a good idea!!!"

I had a customer who was a real bitch. she was just a pain in the ass.
She was complaining about something one day and I just snapped.

It was basically along the lines of, I treat you great I always go out of my way to make sure you're taken care of and you're busting my balls over nothing!!

It was the first and last time I've ever talked like that to a customer. I just learned that if a customer is a really big pain in the ass that I just don't devote any time To them and I certainly don't do any favors for them.

 

[mudbutt22]

I'm in the same boat. You can usually tell beforehand that a customer is a huge pain in the ass. If I get that impression I talk them out of buying. I only get paid once on what I sell and it's not enough to hold their hand and kiss their ass for years to come.

I don't mean like "honey can i please buy this?" If you have to do that then yes, you are a pussy.

It's more I'm looking at buying ... what's your opinion? If I really want it I will buy it regardless. I feel like it's just rspectful to tell your spouse beforehand before you drop a huge wad of cash because it could effect them in some way.

Was taking a trade in......didn't know the customer came behind me..I proceeded to talk about his piece of shit car, and how I'm hiding the "price" in the deal.. no worries. I talked my way out of it. I "hid" the price so the banks would still want to give a low interest rate..actually hid the price because I give him 500 dollars for a trade in and sold it for 5 grand 3 days later..

-

Customers came to me 5 or 6 different days.. wasted all my time.. at the end when they told me they're going to go elsewhere It slipped and I said you're Fucking with me right .. lol they laughed though
