You would be surprised as to how many people those sales tactics work on. Many people don't have the ability to deal with confrontational issues of any kind.Wayne

I've been a salesperson for on and off for 60 years. I pride myself with the fact I was never aggressive in that manor. I always thought that a person should be like me and know what in the heck they want by doing some research on their own. I will answer questions and if I didn't know the answer I would find out for them. when it comes to Rv's or cars I alway think that the unit should reach out and grab you and pull you in, not the salesman. I hate over aggressive salesmen. I retired and went to work for a large company that sold many things, when women would come in to buy a washer dryer, you would be surprised how many didn't know which one to buy. there were too many features for them to process and they would get confused. they would be the ones who would beg you to choose for them

The 1st salesman today, Was shocked that I knew more about the Artic Fox than he did!He did not know they came standard with an AF Clock & folding outdoor seats & throw pillows That we did not see in the rig.He was shocked that I knew so much about stuff like friction hinge doors & etc....

This has been common for years regardless of the product. It does work. Many people go in and have no idea of what end is up. The salesman can get them into a new 32ft class A instead of the used 19th ft converted van.A good salesman reads people well and provides the type of sales that the customer wants or needs. He/she should adjust their tactics accordingly.My first rule is: if the salesman can't listen to my direct statements then I walk away. I won't waste my time hoping he/she will suddenly change.

High Pressure salesmen!

My God about a week ago I called Banning discount RV off the 10 Fwy in Southern California & the guy was so desperately trying anything he could to rope me in.
I finally had to hang up.

But today I happen to be driving by on my way from Tucson Az.
I figured why not drop in & see what they have?
Hopefully I wont meet that guy from the phone?

1st off they DO NOT actually hear what your telling them & are trying to figure out how to sell you on something they are showing you!

& then if the 1st guy don't lock you in they send in another guy to see if he has better luck!
But of course he don't listen much to the words coming out of your mouth either!
& they push to make sure they get your name & phone number & e-mail & keep pushing!

Much too aggressive!

Does this actually work on some people?

This is probably the 5th or 6th Dealer I've gone to & the only once that chased me away!

I finally explained that I've been driving all day & need to go pick up my dog from the Boarders & then still had an additional an hour & 45 minutes from there to get home.

So I politely asked for the 2nd salesman's Business card & he said sure let me go get it, I'll be right back.
We went to the car & took off!

I will never deal this place EVER & if anyone ever ask me I will tell them to stay away!

They don't listen & don't take no for an answer!

Does this actually work for them selling RV's?
Ill go back to people that actually listen & don't push!
