As a salesman how do you handle rental sales.\nDo you take the same approach as a normal sale or do you treat it differently\nsince they customer is only using it for a certain period of time? My family\nhas rented different equipment over the years and it seems to me that the\nsalespersons approach is a little bit different. There is a set price and they\nhave that \u201ctake it or leave it\u201d mentality. I would think every industry is\ndifferent in ways but the bottom line for rental equipment is to pay for that\nitem and make enough to replace it when it needs to be. As that salesperson would\nstill start by asking open ended questions to figure out if the customer really\nneeds to rent this item or not. Or would you stick to saying these are the available\noptions and the different prices. To me I think approaching a rental sale should\nbe viewed similar to a normal sale. Customer service might be the most important\naspect to a rental sale over a normal sale since there may be the need for the customer\nto rent the item again. If the customer feels like they can rent the item for a\nfraction of the buying price and feel like they are being treated the same as if\nthey would have bought why wouldn\u2019t they rent. The rental customer market will\nbe different than the customers in the market to buy, but to me I feel that as\na salesman the approach should be the same for both. Hopefully we talk about\nthis in class and it is the same approach but if it isn\u2019t it would be nice to\nknow. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know we haven\u2019t talked about this in class, but hopefully we do touch on it in some aspect.
