They gave us 3 days paid training, then sent us home with our "kit" to practice on our family. When we were finished we were to have our family call our boss to "see how effective" we were...<br />What he didn't mention was he was going to try to hard sell my parents on one. Telling them that if they didn't buy it I would have to pay the $2,200.00 for it because now it could not be sold as new!!! That was it for me, I turned their crap in to them the next day, and told them to sue me if they chose!<br />The boss tried to calm me by saying it was just a sales technique... I told him I didn't want to work for anyone that would pull that underhanded shit on my family!!!Joe Ormerodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337984962516170189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306564427395253617.post-14509771785443366902014-03-01T09:16:26.604-05:002014-03-01T09:16:26.604-05:00I can't stand hard sales, and do the same...&q...I can't stand hard sales, and do the same..."I'm just looking, I'll call you if I need you." They follow me around, they'll follow me right to the door!<br />The other thing I hate are salesman/woman that know less about what they're selling than I do!!! I'm an informed shopper, don't you owe it to me to be at least informed as me if you want the commission for helping me?!?Joe Ormerodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337984962516170189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8306564427395253617.post-9965325283531371472014-02-28T00:21:32.971-05:002014-02-28T00:21:32.971-05:00Everyone always told me I'd be great at sales ...Everyone always told me I'd be great at sales and the 3 times I was placed in that position I did well but I wasn't that Kirby sales person and I wasn't working on commission. I gave my speel, if they told me they couldn't afford it, I thanked them for their time and apologized for the intrusion into the day and hung up. If someone told me from the get go they weren't interested, I thank them and hung up. I don't like hard sales and in fact whenever I go furniture shopping I tell the sales people, I'll find you when I've found what I'm looking for, if you shadow me, I and your commission will be out the door. I get to shop in peace.

I am willing to bet it's a very small percentage of people who actually buy. Not many people ever came to my door in WA b/c of our steep driveway that was always slick with wet pineneedles and moss. I've had a few people stop by here but I can only get the door open a crack while fighting to keep the barking dogs from charging out and ripping them apart. I usually say, 'not a good time....dogs...' and shut the door. One day some kids came asking for a donation to the Bourne schools sports program. Russell wanted to give them money and I said no. He was like, 'why?' I said, 'dude, we're from Sandwich, we went to Sandwich High, the Canalmen are our rivals and we don't have kids that go to school in Bourne. WHY would we give them money?' lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
