<p>We've all been in situations where it seems like time stands still but again, you don't stay at a place for that long and not leave without a deal. Sounds like a combination of shit salesman and pussy family.</p> -

The $6 gift part is gold . To be honest if a fuckwit of that magnitude came around I'd keep him there till midnight demonstrating the thing in every room cleaning my house from top to bottom including my workshop with its usual inch layer of sawdust in the floor and then tell him I wasn't interested . I'd offer to give his gift back though. <br><br>
John Banks apparently got his start selling vacuums, he'd get a housewife to invite her friends around , he'd shout cakes and stuff and the housewife was told if she sold five she'd get a vacuum for free. -
<p>we had someone turn up on our doorstep selling art about 5 years back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They had a picture my wife loved, and was offered at a reasonable price, so we bought one...the Israeli girl selling the pics was rather hot too, but that was not the point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was an article in the paper the next week about people selling art door to door that were copies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now art is a pretty subjective thing, so you are willing to pay what you are willing to pay...we saw similar pictures in actual shops for the similar prices, and I am 99.9% certain these were copies too, but apparently this isn't a problem?</p> -
<p>Shitty Warehouse platter with the price tag still attached. Giant red 'fuck off' flag right there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I read that story, I was of the same mindset as others. It is YOUR house, people. If you ask them to leave and they don't, you get the trusty cricket bat from the shed and say I'm giving you one minute to exit, then the vacuum cleaner gets it. Or you say the police are on their way, as you are now trespassing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Far worse are the comments that say salespeople stayed til midnight or 1am. Like WTF??? Grow some fucking balls and throw them out. (This of course does not apply to the elderly. But they should grow some balls and phone the nearest family member to assist if they get trapped like this.)</p> -

<p>Slightly different but I knew a guy that got called by a scammer that was trying to get him to log into his PC and give him all his details so he could hack him. He had nothing better to do so spent 3 hours on the phone with the guy, pretending to do everything he was asking but for some reason it "wasn't working". Once he got bored he told the guy he didn't actually have a PC. He could hear a tirade of abuse from the scammer as he hung up the phone.</p> -

<p>I'm still waiting on several million owed by someone in Nigeria. Any day now......when it comes in I'll shout everyone on the fern on a holiday of their choice.</p> -

<p>I'm trying to figure out what people think they gain from going to the media ( and the one from the other day was on TV last night, TV was muted and I was visiting mates so didn't hear it ) do they think we're going to be heartbroken by their plight, ie their "plight" being they're too fucken weak to tell these fluffybunnys to leave 4 hours and 55 minutes earlier ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've worked in Sales and Marketing in various degrees most of my working life, I understand that with stuff like this there has to be a bit of a formula to follow in your presentation, you address objections before they are asked etc, but FIVE FUCKEN HOURS !?!?!?!? something isn't adding up. Over Summer about 20 years ago I sold video card subscriptions door to door, longest I would have stayed at a house was half an hour tops. In a couple of months of that I got bitten quite badly by a dog, had an old lady call the police, had a hot chick answer topless....and occasionally made some sales. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Pressure" sales tactics are a thing of the past now, especially as people are savvy enough to research stuff on the net nowadays. You just have to compare Car Salespeople and Real Estate Agents from yesteryear to now. Sounds like this company need to have a serious look at their business ethics.</p>
