For the past few years they worked with a salesman who had a great relationship with them and was very straight forward and to the point, something that both my Dad and Uncle value when buying something for business. For some reason the salesman they knew switched jobs and a new salesman decided to handle the purchase. My Uncle said he was annoyed because before he could even ask him one question he began to start telling him a bunch of information about the truck that he was already aware of. When he told me about this experience it quickly reminded me about how we talked about answering unasked questions in class.<\/p>\n<p>Even though in the end the salesman was able to pull of the sale he ended up giving the customer a bad experience by trying to answer questions that the customer was already aware of directing the attention away from the core questions that were needed to make the sale.
