How can a salesperson honestly think by being rude to you, you will sign up with them/ their company?
I had a sales representative, John Bowman, from Milestone Marketing all me today, a Monday at 8:53am. He asked if I was in charge of our dealerships digital marketing. I said that I was. He said " great, I know I am calling you out of the blue, but we have this great product that will help you." I said thanks, but I am not interested. He pushes on, saying how he's helped dozens of dealerships just like me, and it would benefit me to schedule a short demo with him. I said again, "No thanks, I am not interested. Our digital marketing performs very well and I am not looking to change anything at this time."
He then says " Wow, you must have the nephew of someone important doing it for you then." I said "Nope, but for comments like that we will never do business with your company thanks. "
I get they have a job to do, but that definitely isn't the way to do it. I couldn't tell you the number of reps I have spoken to over the years trying to sell our dealerhsip something. If we are in the market to change something, I will listen. If we aren't, I let them know. I am not about to waste my time or thiers. Most are very nice and will usually ask if they can send me some info to look over when I have some time and to keep them in mind for the future. I am okay with that and have gone back to those emails when things change and will call them up. Then you have reps like this guy.
