“We have another job around the corner”?
July 12th, 2006One thing I hate his deceit and lies. Why do some salesmen then, in an attempt to close the sale, come out with the line: I can knock pounds off to night if you sign up now as we have another job around the corner that by twinning with job with help my company save pounds. I raise it because we gained a new customer yesterday who precisely refused to fall for this line. Not only is it unprofessional but 9 times out of 10 the job around the corner is a lie. Apparently up until the salesman concerned came up with that line he was going to get the order! Thankfully, we don’t employ salesmen so we can’t lose customers on false sales lines.
