How queer. What's that you say? Every person on the other side booked for around half an hour from now? Well I'd better get my little roller-booties on!

The Fish 8946 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I think a lot of folk are only going to be wanting an estimate, but it's my job to convince them to buy the windows from me. I know that it's not particularly proud work, but it's money at the end of the week so I can't really let awkward things like morals get in the way .

I ended up telling the guy to fuck off and went with a company that doesn't use sales people. The irony was this made them cheaper too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't doing that are you? 177160[/snapback] the company line is that it's a luxury product ad middle range price. whey for one thing I'm not going to say luxury, cos people think luxury means excessive and unnecessary. Someone says Luxury and I hear Laurent Robert. and I'm a little concerned about taking advantage of vulnerable people (either gullible or easily flustered), at the end of the day it IS a good product and it IS cheaper than products of similar quality from other companies. I dunno hopefully I can get the promotion quickly and distance myself from the sales part of it meaning I'm a step removed from the less noble side of things.

I mean, yeah it was big and the thread had teeth at the start.... but it's a fucking screw man, just a posh bastards nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
