Everyone and their mother knows that old stereotype of the pushy “used car salesman”. That one guy on the lot who sneaks up and appears out of nowhere to start blurting out information on something you are not completely interested in. Prices change and tempers can sometimes flare up. Lucky for us, this is not the norm as much as it used to be back in the day. Now that they have left, there is a new salesman to watch out for.
Walk into a Verizon store next chance you get and I promise you will not come out of there “untouched”. Within minutes you are approached by a phone salesman and asked a billion question about what you want. After they come up with a few phones they think would best suit you, they bring you over to show you their selection. Even if you are “just looking” they persist on asking about your plan and trying to upgrade you. They don’t care if there is a strong need for their product, just the sale itself.
This was my personal experience the last time I was in a phone store and trust me, it was not a pleasant one. Maybe if those salesmen followed a few of the rules we have learned in class people would not leave the store being so angry.

I just recently had to go to the Grove City Verizon store. I had such a negative experience! When I walked in they were all over me, but the second I told them I needed help getting my phone fixed they did not want anything to do with me! I later realized it is because they prolly make a commission off a sale of a phone and by trying to help me fix my phone they were not gaining anything.
So true, Verizon is intense with that. There was a while there where their reps were offered much higher commission for selling android products. Thereby creating the pushy salespeople of all time for any iphone user.
Interesting. I never thought of it that way, but it’s so true! They swarm, looking for that commission. They get the questions right, but they don’t listen and sit back to let the potential client see that they need what they’re offering – they force it on them, painting too many seagulls in their painting.
