What would you guys (or gals) do in this case? I approached a company about buying their product. My choice was between the expensive and the not-so expensive. The salesman pressed me to make an instant decision, saying the price would be higher if I didn't decide right away. I never make decisions this way, so he agreed to give me a few more days. Still not acceptable, but better. In the meantime he called daily for two days asking if I'd decided. I used each call to ask more questions that I'd come up with over the days. He had suggested a way I might save a bit more money and on the supposed last day of the offer I called him to get the final price if I took the opportunity he had suggested to save. I was shocked when he said he was tired of talking and didn't have time to go through every detail just to save me some money. I was stunned, to say the least. We're not talking chump change here - it's a $20,000 product and I wanted the expensive one. To top it off - on the supposed final day of discount - I spotted their ad with the same offer available for another month. Now I've had time to do some comparison shopping and it seems the product really is the one I like the best and is the best quality, but I really don't want to deal with such an ass hole. What do I do? What would you do?
Need some help here, people

Ask to talk to his Sales Manager immediately. When you do explain to him what transpired and tell him that you want to buy the superior product however you will not do so until you get a further discount for the salesman's offensive behaviour.
Chances are he will happily oblige as we are approaching the end of both the month and the quarter and he wants to book all the sales he could before it ends.
Good Luck!

OK that changes things a little you might be SOL! but try talking to the other partner, he might have more power and chances are this is not his first crack at being ignorant!
Tough call. It's like when your cruising and you pull up to a couple chicks on the same corner and one walks up to your car and you have to say "no-no, not you the other one" One reason I hate multiple chicks on the same corner.
But CT it's your money and the guy obviously has no skills as a sales man and should stick to staying behind the scenes and running the company. Granted if this sales man sees you in there it's gonna be kinda hard to basicaly say "I want to buy the product, but you suck, so I want to deal with someone else"
Very botchy, since your spending 20gran and not just a green. Perks and extras can come with a expensive purchase like that and brown nosing and some mutual ass kissing gets the salesman his sale and it may get you some extras.
When I bough my last car I spent an abusive amount of coin, but I loved the car and damn it I deserved it. For the time I was purchasing it me and the salesman were best buddies, and it paid off in some frrebie accessories and vip treatment.
Granted if your buying some blank video tapes, or a litre of milk who gives a shit how you act.

Switch the tables!
You could counteroffer him with say $10 grand and switch the tables on him, tell him he has until the end of the business day to decide. Remind him, that at least he would make some money, some pennies, for the time that he has already invested, and not to let his wounded pride get in the way of accepting this less profitable price. He has spent a fixed cost (his time), and it is his last chance to get some profit.
$20 grand, you make it sound like a time share.

In my experience, there is always someone else out there who has a very similar product who will treat you better than the original asshole treated you... and besides, one clue as to why not to buy from this bunghole is the high-pressure tactics he employed.
Also, you might want to get the BBB in on this one...screw him a little while you're buying someone else's product.

try to find if there is any other place that sells this product..
Do more research like you are doing on Perb..., you might find the same product sold cheaper than the place you went to in the first place...Good Luck!!!

We've had a situation in Winnipeg where an SP was attacked. The perp carried a switch blade - and we'd like all SP's and Perberts to be aware of the situation. We'll hopefully catch him, but if not, be careful. See the Winnipeg board for a description of this Bastard.
