AJ sheffield Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'd have backed away too Location114, and I'd have told the seller why his attempts at selling techniques were making me go elsewhere too. I back away from all sorts of pressure selling techniques. If your product is worth me buying then it's worth me making up my own mind about and shouldn't need you to 'sell' me the product. It's different if I ask a question, but even then I'd like a factual answer rather than a list of products and benefits. The thing that really ticks me off is that most of the selling techniques are used in such a hamfisted way. Used much more sparingly and gently they are much more effective and less offensive, and more likely to result in the customer making a willing and informed decision to buy. I was in Currys last weekend looking at buying a 3d tv but the salesman literally followed me round the shop like a security guard would follow a group of young ruffians. Every single item I expressed an interest in had him jumping all over me, in the end I had to bail out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I won't even carry £5 on me, the streets of Sheffield are getting worse what with all the muggings and drug related crime. It may sound silly to some people but the only time I carry cash on me is when I am in the village, it's a sad fact that this is the only place I feel safe in the city. May I be so bold as to suggest any spare ones could go into the send Denlin to Canada fund, your eminence:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
