Double glazing sales tricks

I once worked with someone who had previously sold "Kirby" vacuum cleaners (I'd never heard of them) and he said a couple where his preferred targets as the woman would invariably want the vacuum, the husband wouldn't, they'd end up arguing but the husband would give in.


Don't know if it was true or not.

I’ve done that with door to door people, except I tell them I need to ask my mum.

Cue confused face and a swift exit

We saw an offer for a free carpet clean using one of these cleaners that looks like a vacuum cleaner but which give the carpet a shampoo. We knew it was a sales job but we had a smelly bit on the stairs carpet because a neighbour's cat had got in through our cat flap and sprayed...

So we invited them round and he wanted to demo it to both of us - but my wife was busy so he just got me. Anyway, I pointed him at the smelly bit and said if he cleans it and it's not smelly in a few days I might buy it. So no chance of a sale on the night.

He cleaned it, and guess what. Still smelly a few days later. And they wanted something like one thousand for this cleaner! Seriously!
