sometimes you cannot blames the salesperson as well you know.......
at times when I give very good service to a customer explain everything, weight the pros and cons of buying the different models etc.......
end of the day the @ss will go next door and buy just becoz they sell cheaper then me $20.
s'poreans want top rate service as well as the lowest price as well......
unfortunately I dun think such thing exist.
Ofcourse la. Customer is always right wat. Forgot that ? Which customer would wanna buy something that is more expensive when he can get it cheaper somewhere else?
I understand the plight of part time sales man at SLS and Funan, cos ive been one b4. Sometimes you cant blame them too. There's no proper training given by the employers. You just start your job and you start selling whatever product straightaway. Its a part time job, tell me which part timer (student or watever) will go back home and research about the product?
And your colleagues might not be of help too. The "top sellers" usually dont share much of their experience because they are afraid you might become competition to them.
And sometimes you realise these "top sellers" are actually bullshitting to the customers. The ones that actually explain the technology and stuff truthfully to the customers end up not selling much.
I dont know if ive gone out of point here. But oh well. Sales is a funny thing.
