Welcome to our forum.
A rare jump in here. We've all been in sales for a bit, most of us anyhow. Isn't it pathetic when a manufacturers rep tries to explain to you how to close a sale.
I always want to ask them, "soooo, when was the last time you took a check from a customer?"
I realy enjoy it when you are busy and they take an up..
When the customer leaves they all say the same thing. "That ones a buyer, They'll be back." Manufacturers rep=weakness in an expensive suit.
Yeah...it's not hard to spot the people that have been in retail longer than they can personally handle. The unfortunate part is that we use to have a mutual respect for one another which I thought we still had right up until he completely dissed me and my profession in that post. Oh, well, I know Lori still loves me and that's what's important to me! Steve
You just sound bitter Frank and you've been that way in all of your posts since you left Jacuzzi. Steve
Oops, cats out of the bag now.Just don't tell me my IQ dropped 10 points after that post, LOL!Spahappy

Well as much as I hate interupting all this male bonding I'm going to anyway.Spent the better part of the afternoon getting to know more about the Jacuzzi spas and getting to know our sales rep.I was impressed he'd take the time out of his busy schedule to visit us out here. Turns out he's continuing west to Montana to try to fry bigger fish in Billings and we're along the way. Those were not his exact words but that was the jist of them.I'm still impressed with the product, and we learned more about the jets and diverter functions from the rep today. In fact I'm down at the store now and as soon as my co-worker gets here with the refreshments we're going to wet test the j-355. She hasn't tried it yet, and I think by wet testing she'll gain some confidence in the Jacuzzi line.The best part of the day was... I sold Jacuzzi number 4 and it happened while the rep was here. Whats funny about this is, he was going through a sales point by point training guide and was just beginning on how to close the sale...good god...I wanted product training, not how to close a sale. Well Machelle's here with some beverages, and the windows are fogged so motorists can't drive by and see me in my swimming suit, the tunes are on, and the Jacuzzi 101 class is about to begin..Boy I hate this job, work work work Spahappy
Well yeah but Lori loves most everyybody... ...your going to have to get more than her to stand with you........ooooooook...........count me in.......
I think I can speak for all the male posters here... Any pics? Of both of you in the store's Jacuzzi #5? You know... for professional reasons. Have to see how those units are being so effectively promoted and all.
Yes, my thoughts exactly but I'm new here and I didn't want to make her mad by asking for pictures I have to confess though Spahappy, the thought of two women in a hot tub with beverages and steamed up windows has me a little turned on right now. Heck, if the men out there in the prairie get word that you and Michelle are doing soak/ sales pitches, you're going to sell a bunch of tubs....
