That microwave/CD guy has to be someone who posts at this site and reads what you post, who was just in with you.
But you pwned the customer.

The guy just called me. He wants back on the deal. The "other" dealership sold whatever it was he was buying out from under him. Very strange turn of events. I'm not going to believe a word he says until drafting comes over and clears the bosses office. He could be ing with me. I'm ready for a war if need be...I do have plenty of time on my hands.But you pwned the customer.
tell him you'll only do business with his friend from now on.
. That would have been funny. I do have a back up deal written on it. Another guy wants to come in early tomorrow to check it out. I may just sell it to him to avoid dealing with a flake.
whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
Fair enough.
I am in sales also and it drives me crazy when someone backs out of a deal after I have spent a lot of time on proposals, phone calls, mailings/emailings, and educating them. It really pisses me off when they back out like cowards. My time is money and I do not like to work for free. What really kills me are the people that call me unsolicited and heard I have good rates, etc etc.
I have often thought about sending them an invoice for wasting my time. Of course they are not going to pay, but maybe I could write it off as a loss on my taxes.
B2B in your case, send that asshole an invoice for $200.00 less the $200.00 deposit for a zero balance owed. Might make him feel better.
him. Add $200 to the price for mental anguish.
That's too bad. I've found in sales that the higher the price of the item the less stupid the buyers tend to be, and seeing how you are dealing in expensive items that for most people are luxury items, I'm surprised you have to deal with so many idiots.
I think everyone should be able to run a simple le search on their own property, but alas, no.
Some of the most shocking customers are the ones that come in to buy the big ticket items. Nothing more frustrating than spending 6 months working with a high end customer on a 150k unit only to find out that they can't qualify for the purchase. I expect this from the bottom feeders but c'mon if you're going to shop for 100k+ and expect me to roll out the red carpet and spend months helping you design and spec out your dream rig.....at least know you can qualify.
I'd love to pre-qualify these people but if you've ever sold anything you know how quickly the high end people offend. You just gotta trust that they're didn't have to put 20% down at 21% interest for their diesel 1 ton.
You can't judge someone's capacity to learn by what they haven't been taught. Deciding someone is stupid when they're likely just uninformed is dismissive, and causes more stress and frustration than necessary.
After working in a field that required me to run credit checks for ten years and having to explain to people that a history of neglected bills was not going to make them desirable renters, however, this is certainly not to suggest that there aren't plenty of people in this country who are in fact as dumb as a sack of hammers. There are. But if you go into work every day expecting everyone to have a working knowledge of finance, you're going to be pissed off and disappointed by lunch. I find it more productive to explain things to people, calmly and politely, with the assumption that they're going to understand what you're saying and to save the frustration for those cases in which they don't.
I agree with B2B. People are stupid. Just work retail or any job that requires you to deal with people and they are morons.
I would consider myself stupid on some things..like quantum physics, singularities, and quantum mechanics.
I sometimes wonder about people...where I work you have to pay before you get what you want. But sometimes I've had people spend close to a hundred bucks...and then NEVER stop by and pick it up.
I wish I had a life where I could drop close to a hundred bucks and just forget about it.
You have a life where you can steal 700 and forget about it. Almost as good, no?
What makes me laugh is the guy was to busy because he was in a meeting which to me says he makes a pretty good living or wants to act like he makes a pretty good living and had no time to call so he had someone call for him. Then he cries like a cheap ass over 200 hundred bucks. ing pussy. B2B you should have told him to come up there if he would like to duscuss it some more.
