Weird Salespeople stories

[captrobey]

At my weekly meeting today one of our agents had an interesting story on an appointment she ran. I thought this would be an interesting topic and should get some interesting stories. I have a few myself but i will put hers on here for now. Try to keep this just Salespeople who run appointments on the road and make house calls like myself.

So this agent goes to this appointment. She rings the doorbell and the wife answers the door. She invites the agent in and she tells her that her husband is in the other room in the bedroom and waiting in there.

So they walk in and they have this little desk set up for her to sit at next to the bed. The wife sits down in a chair and pulls out a pad to write info down in. Meanwhile- the husband who is about 67 years old is sitting in the bed. He is extremely overweight. He has a shirt on but from the waist down he is completely naked. So for the next two hours she went through her spiel and even got the sale. The whole while the wife writing stuff down like there is nothing out of the ordinary.

I was thinking there may be some good stories out there besides this one so i thought i would share one of ours.

I had a guy piss himself during a meeting once. I had met with him a few times and things looked good for signing the account. I was new and brought in some of the big guns in management to close him. Guy ends up pissing himself in front of my senior vp. It was pretty weird. I think he had a mini stroke or something mid meeting. We still talk and laugh about it.

Wow that sucks poor guy though hope he was Ok after that. I have heard so many stories and have had a bunch myself. Here is another one .

This one happened to me .

I ran an underage appointment . Appointment was in one of the not so nice sections of Philly. I parked and looking for the home i passed another house that had a sex doll propped up against a window. That was a weird sight .

I get to the house and knock. I hear a girl say "Come in" . I walk in and the girl yells from upstairs "I will be down in a minute." So i sit down.

Down comes this girl about 28 or so. She must have just got out of the shower. She was in a towel and he hair still wet. She mentioned about he husband being away (She was attractive). I was married and would never cheat on my wife so i just said "Well lets get you set up with the insurance.".

So we did the entire appointment with her sitting there in a towel . I got the sale . And i stayed true to my wife. But i can only imagine what the husband would have thought if he would have walked in unexpectedly.

I was thinking of more insurance. Contacted my agent. He said he would be over, instead he brings 3 other
people. Trainers. Well, I gave them something to train about.

I felt overwhelmed and my defenses went up. I was saying no to all of their sales pitches to the point one of the trainees started getting smart with me. I said that's it, get the hell off my property. I was real close to hookin' and jabbin'. I hope that dude found another line of work.

Another story I have on salesmen. Was outside and this dude asked me if I needed any house repairs. I said I could
use some gutter guards.

Guy calls, set up an appointment. Guy shows up in a piece of shit car and poorly dressed. Shows me this foam stuff
to put in my gutters for the low cost of 3k. Had to laugh in his face. I got him down to $900. He had to call his boss. Boss says no. I said we are done. The guy wouldn't leave. I almost had to get rough with him.

We get outside to go to his car and his front bald tire is flat. I wanted this guy gone and right now. He didn't have
a spare. I got my floor jack from the garage, took his tire off, plugged up the hole, put air in it, put it back on
and sent him on his way.

Sorry man, can't stand sales people. They don't know when to say when, when the customer says no.

You were probably the best appt for the guy- fixing his tire and helping him like that. Luckily since i have been doing this so long i get a lot of referrals. But i do not push people into a Medicare product. I actually just came home a couple hours ago from an appointment in Philly that i closed for a Husband and Wife. About a 3.5 hour appointment from start to finish. Got there at about 7:30 PM left at 11 PM.

I do freelance design and have a ton of weirdo stories from consultations.

Favorite was the time I met the CEO of a start up at his house in Dana Point. He had all kinds of ideas and the meeting led us to his computer to show him some examples of stock photography we could use for his project. He fires up his browser and must've forgotten he was cruising degenerate porn before our meeting because he's on some horny chicks with dicks.com site and turned bright red trying to close the page. Acted like I didn't see it and let him off easy, but the fukin stock photo site used google adaware so every banner was for shemales and strapon porn LOL. Hard to ignore that and be serious with this dude. Not surprisingly I never heard from him after.

Another agent i work with had a story on that line. He went to an appointment to meet a Medicare appt. Guy answers the door. AS they walk in there in the living room is a large screen TV. On it are 2 guys going at it with gay porn. The guy says"Oh i guess i should turn that off". Like he was hoping the agent would maybe be interested. Which he was not.

So he turns it off and they go to a table. On it is the guys laptop with more gay porn on it. So he shuts that off and they go through most of the appointment. A few minutes before the appt wraps up the guy gets up and turns the gay porn on again on the large screen TV.

The agent grabbed the voided check he needed , finished up the appointment , and got out of there as quick as he could.
