Even at the doctors!(they hate the net, people must drive them mad) You can search and get any info you want now days. I cant understand how these knobs in sales dont know there products!!! Spend an hour on the net and you have it nailed. They sit on the arse half the day anyway. Do some research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes someone is 10 mins on real-estate.com and they know everything there is to know about a suburb and know exactly what a house is worth. Same in any industrie.I think one out of about six salesmen new the FG had a smaller turbo, some would even argue the fact that it didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 12d Posted 16/02/12 12:03 AM Share Posted 16/02/12 12:03 AM (edited) Real Estate is certainly harder than car sales. The 3 new cars Ive bought over the last 5 years have been a piece of cake for the salesman. I do the research and go in and order it!! Will be able to buy them off the net soon. Have I misssed something Dillz, whats with the green car? Why? And wheres the road in the clouds? Edited 16/02/12 12:04 AM by tuono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a Ford promo pic for when the Fg's first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes someone is 10 mins on real-estate.com and they know everything there is to know about a suburb and know exactly what a house is worth. Same in any industrie.I think one out of about six salesmen new the FG had a smaller turbo, some would even argue the fact that it didn't.I don't get that with car salesmen. In every other industry, especially retail, the golden instruction is "the customer is always right" and yet for car salesmen, they seem to need to argue with you. When I went with Dad several years back for a Kia Grand Carnival, we deliberately played dumb and then told them what they'd got wrong. Some of them took it on the chin and thanked us while others I think just needed to think they were right.Maybe a decade ago you could fob off your knowledge to the consumer but these days, they need to treat the customer as a virtual knowledgebase for the vehicle. Most people probably do some form of research on the net before they go shopping now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
