The Worst Marketing Method by ItuExchange(m): 9:30am On Aug 24, 2016 |
What is the most aggressive sales tactic you've ever seen? I was out buying furniture. I wanted a bed and a couch. So I go to the furniture store. A young dude greets me, points out the major sections of the store, gives me his card, tells me he'll be here if I needs him. Super helpful, not annoying, to the point, so far so good. So I start looking at couches. After a couple minutes, in swoops the store manager like a starving vulture. He greets me with a weird handshake and asks some weird questions. I can tell almost instantly that he's read "How to Make Friends and Influence People" and probably some other sales playbook and is playing to that shtick like a marionette. He just will not leave me alone and let me shop. I tried to give as many hints as possible. I tried not responding, etc. He just kept talking about the higher priced models and kept showing every little feature. It was dreadful. But the one thing I remember is that he used my name in such a creepy, textbook way. He sounded too enthused, and kept using it as if I was a dog that would prick up its ears as soon as it heard its name. "Carlos, check out this couch. Look at how it folds." "Hey Carlos, I think you're really gonna like this mattress!" Dude. Just stop. I don't want to have sex with your couch. I think David Mitchell summed it up best in one of his sketches: "The way you keep using my name in a way that makes me feel oddly violated; as if you'd just dipped your cock in my drink." I left as soon as I could and bought my stuff at the place right next door. Source: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-most-aggressive-sales-tactic-youve-ever-seen Neteller here: www..com.ng |

Thanks for sharing this info! Now I know how I should not market my product. In my opinion, marketing is a very sensitive matter. When it comes to marketing, I prefer using the professional help provided by http://thecmoclub.com/ . They work great for me! |
