So this is not any kind of rule or anything, but this was an interesting in-person example of an old time salesman.\u00a0 So as we all know two dances are coming up, well me, my friends, and my boyfriend went out over the weekend to get some clothes for these dances.\u00a0 We went to a department store to look for a suite for my boyfriend, and there we found the salesman that I am going to talk about.\u00a0 This salesman in the suite section was rather aggressive.\u00a0 As soon as we stepped into the section he approached us.\u00a0 He wanted to know all about what the suite was for (which was pretty normal), but then he also wanted to know all about me and my boyfriend’s relationship and how long we have been together.\u00a0 I know that we as salespeople should ask questions and get to know our potential customers, but this man was a little too much.\u00a0 He got a little too personal and I know he was just trying to be nice, but he actually lost a potential sale because he made me and my boyfriend uncomfortable enough that we decided together to leave.\u00a0 This little 20 minute interaction made me realize just how quickly and easily you can lose your sale.\u00a0 There is such a fine line between being personable, talkative, and pleasant, and nosey, aggressive and downright creepy.\u00a0 \u00a0Anyway, that is my recent in person sales experience and it really helped show me some of the principles that we have learned in class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
