meanwhile.. in the land of "on topic"

I have a pretty good relationship with the mitsu dealer near here. I helped one of their salesmen sell cars while I was hanging out waiting for my regular service checkup. Some of the older salesmen asked me to leave but a young sales guy came out and started asking me all kinds of questions about the EVO's. I told him everything about it that I could remember. I answered all the questions he had and he even took notes. We took an MR out for a test drive and we had a great time. I even ended up selling the car to an older guy from Boston who was just down in SoCal on a visit. It was a lot of fun. The sales guy told me that if I ever wanted to take any car on his lot out for a testdrive, to come back and talk to him and we could go anywhere. I explained that the people who are skeptical about gettingan evo will almost alway give in after they test drive it. kids, adults, men, women, whatever. when that turbo spools up, it is almost always sold. I teach for a profession and it just always seems easy to sell something when you have been making people learn things for a career. I dunno. maybe there is a lot in common.

 

great point, man. Just like students, customer don't want to be talked down to.
