Attempted presure selling

Bantex, you've hit the nail on the head. If through discussion (really skilled interrogation) the salesman establishes what the customer really needs (not wants) and they don't have what they need on the lot, they should have established enough rapport to say, I don't have it, do you want me to get one in. A true sale, not sell you what I've got.
Funnily enough, that professional salesman will sell many, many more cars to that buyer and their friends and family, than one commission hound getting rid of a stock car.

Sorry, but a real salesman sells their product, if their product is not quite what what fits the bill they change the prospects wants.

Your idea of a salesman is what is generally known as an "order taker".

You have got that completely the wrong way round Bantex. A real car professional will sell the right car or no car at all. A lot of these pages are littered with wrong people in wrong cars suffering buyers remorse generating phantom faults and multiple dealer visits, because they have dealt with an order taker.
A pro will sell the right car and get repeat business for life, plus the mushroom effect of that satisfied customer telling all and sundry how happy they are with their second largest expenditure.
Car sales can be the easiest, laziest, low paid job, or a very lucrative, interesting and exhausting job. Depends on the quality and interest of the individual.

Sure you managed to turn it round as "one careful owner, full service history" with a bit of filler, and a few panels from the scrappy to some poor mug though. Hopefully you don't source all your stock like this?

I didnt source ANY of my stock like this.

Not that i have to explain myself to you, but to correct you, i knew of the car previous to the accident and it had had a lot of money spent on it mechanically. Seemed a shame to let it go to the scrapper so we fixed it and i used it as a cheap diesel runabout.

What gives you the right to post the rubbish that you did there about me as if it were fact?

I would not recommend telling your sales manager that you had told a prospect to go to your competiton as they have stuff that may suit them better. Think P45 may be forthcoming pretty quickly.

What a load of unwarranted cobblers. Also shows your lack knowledge of salvage.

"used it", if you don't still use it, did you sell it, or scrap it?

Once i'd finished with it - i subsequently bought a van - it was sold back to the guy who did the repairs to it. He still drives it - again just as a cheap runabout.

So, are you going to be a man and apologise for your wholly inaccurate and insulting slanderous comment?

Slanderous? Don't mean this bit do you. "you don't source all your stock like this?" Still, if you object to me suggesting you don't, and suggesting you get cars through normal means ............. (Look up slander in the dictionary as well)
