What do you hope to Accomplish?

  Kindness is such a hard thing to come by these days. Often think of Gary Vee talking about deploying compassion when someone treats you wrong. 

It is super easy for someone to have a bad day, to turn it on you. I deal with this all the time as a sales person. I sale window coverings by day and have customers who always treat you like you are dirt when you show up. It is interesting to me because they have called out company to get a price on the products that we sell. 

 I have always thought that you should treat others how you would like to be treated. Heck it’s even in the Bible if you believe that way, no judgement whatsoever. It’s the golden rule for crying out loud.  

I know many people have had bad sales experiences. However when you have summoned someone to your house to get a price on a product, why would you act offended when they tell you what the value of the product is you asked for??

Something to think about, when someone sells you something. They have a lot more invested in the product than just the product. Take in to account that the person who sells the product takes all the risks in selling the product. The pay the installers, the salesman, vehicle wear and tear, as well as all the tool to do the job. There is a lot wrapped up into that price, and you get what you payed for. 

You called them, because you can’t do whatever it is yourself. You don’t have the skills, and they are there to help you solve that problem. 

Instead of insulting their price, or trying to ask for a discount evaluate what you are willing to pay and if it is not in your price range. Say thank you for your time, and see them to the door. After all, the person you called in is there because you called.
