Talked into buying?

Well, there goes the whole marketing industry.

Stop being unethical!

You know you want it.

But isn’t that why we buy anything in the first place? Because we were talked into it? Even if we’re the ones talking ourselves into it? If I can talk you into buying something, doesn’t that make me a good salesman?

A true sales professional would not try to talk anyone into buying anything. I personally hate the idea of being "talked into" buying anything.

That said, I'm very good at talking myself into buying bass gear, and proud of it.

not ethical to sell it to someone at all... or let them be alone?

good luck!

No never, I do that myself to myself....

A good salesman could be, if it were. Best Thread 2018 awards? Think.

Shroedinger's bass- It both exists, and doesn't exist, at the same time. Do you still buy it?

Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd go away.

Told this many years ago during sales training (by a very famous "sales person")-

"The difference between SEDUCTION and RAPE is simply the salesmanship."

My car dealership once sent me to an all day class. It was about how to sell someone a different color car than the one they came in for. That was so if you didn't have a "Blue" car on the lot, you could get them into that ugly green one.

Where were you when Bill Cosby needed you?

I was one of the kids that DIDN'T come down from the Jello Tree when he yelled at me.

...and that has made all the difference!
