Funny scenario today as I walked into a store simply to buy a wireless mouse for a person and on my way out an employee asks me who I currently use as my cell phone provider. I knew immediately this was a typical scenario of associates trying to make a sale and so I answer in a light hearted way that they weren\u2019t going to beat the deal that I had. They asked what I had and so I mention for about $35 a month I get over 40 gigabytes of data and unlimited minutes with texting. One guy\u2019s eye\u2019s looked like it was going to pop out of his head and the other was shocked,<\/p>\n
Then one of them jokingly told me to just leave the store and the other guy joked how he wants to get that plan. I am currently on one of those longtime customer loyalty plans which isn\u2019t available for just everyone. But I often find this approach to be the good balance between just ignoring the person or listening to the entire pitch out of not wanting o be rude.<\/p>\n
It kind of shows too how when it comes to these store pitches you have to really know what\u2019s out there to adapt to the vastly different customer base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
