I do not get the sales guys these days, I am not sure if the industry is up so much they do not need to hustle, or they place a read on things based on their experiance and do not bother with the ones they think are low chance sales. When I worked sales selling satellite dishs back in the 90s you worked every lead to the bitter end.
