Reo marketing bosses jailed

I am assuming my earlier thread was deleted. No matter, just wanted to update it with a link to this nice article in the Mail about the court case. It has some good quotes from The Book - the training manual Reo gave to rep's to pressure sell mobility aids to the elderly.

"Disabled Ernest Watson, 82, spent three hours arguing with a salesman. At one stage he was so distraught – as the salesman sat in silence waiting for the deal to be agreed – he considered pressing the panic button at his warden-assisted flat in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Exhausted, he eventually parted with £2,000 for a massage chair."

"The court heard how one victim was called at least once every day for a fortnight until she finally agreed to buy a £4,500 massage chair."

Here is the article from the Daily Mirror showing how Reo were linked to other mobility companies.
