I know I know this is something I have to ask a salesperson at some point, but it is so true I just have to ask.
When it comes to sales, people have a lot of things to say. And a lot of things that are actually true. It’s true that salespeople are not supposed to lie. They are supposed to be a little more honest than that, but they still can. Which is why they are not supposed to have salespeople on the sales floor. What happens is people get all up in arms about the whole thing, and they get very upset.
When salespeople are on the sales floor they are supposed to be very honest and not spread lies to the public. But the truth is that they are selling something that may very well put them out of a job. That makes them very angry and very confused. This is why salespeople are very careful to say everything that they say. Because sometimes you can say something that is a little bit awkward, and that is the kind of thing that can get people mad.
The salesperson in this video is one of the most knowledgeable salespeople I know. He is a sales agent in a large chain of retail stores and has been in the industry for more than a decade. But I know that he has a few secrets about the industry that will shock you. The first is that sometimes sales agents will say something that sounds a little bit like an insult.
This is something they will often say when they know that they are being accused of something. For example, I know that this salesperson frequently tells the sales manager that if he doesn’t call back within a certain time frame, he will be fired. He has, in fact, been fired for calling customers back and doing so in a manner that was rude and dismissive of the customer.
I am not a salesman, so it sounds like I’m not the one who needs to be fired. However, the salesperson could see that I was upset and would probably have thought that I was making some valid points.
Another example of the salesperson’s behavior I can think of would be when he told me that the price on the item I was looking at was too high. I might have felt like my opinion was of no consequence as to why the price was too high, which makes it seem as though my opinion is of no consequence.
What salespeople don’t realize is that they should never, ever, ever feel that they need to tell you “Your opinion of the price is of no consequence.” You should be able to form your opinion on the item itself, in the same way you would do it for a good restaurant or a good movie you saw.
If you think it is too expensive, your opinion is of no consequence. If you think it is too cheap, you need to think beyond the price. If you think it is too good, you need to think beyond the price.
If you think that a salesperson is telling you, “I don’t think the price is the correct one,” then your opinion has no value. If you think they are telling you, “I don’t think it is a good one,” then your opinion has value. But if you think they are saying, “I don’t think it is a good item,” you have no idea what item it is.
