Lold hard

[ausurfer]

it's because they don't want to be annoyed.


they know you don't actually give a shiit how their day was and you're just after a sale.

[dabbe]

It's because your "hi how are you?" always follows up with a sales pitch. So I'd rather shut you up before you get going.

[MrGregory]

just looking sorry

[HollywoodBody]

I do inside sales from a comfy desk. so this has never happened to me.

[alphama1e]

when a sales person approaches me saying "hi how are you" i usually just say fine thankyou and continue looking at the product , unless ofcourse i actually have a question for them which i usually dont because in this day and age salesmen are nothing more then fancy cashiers because i can research every product beforehand online .

[MajinBrogeta]

That's funny OP, because whenever a sales rep asks me how I'm doing or if they can help, I always want to punch them in the dick.

Seriously, fuk off, if I need something I'll pick it off the shelf myself. Chances are the person trying to help me doesn't know ****, and guaranteed I am more intelligent about every product in the store than them.

[jayshmo]

Try this op, Hi welcome to xxxx here is my card if you have any questions or would like any assistance ill be inside!

[johnnytoogood]

Whenever I want to open a customer, I'll walk over to where they are and start doing something nearby or just look real busy in general. I'll then ask them how they are only giving them 40% attention. They don't feel like they are about to be pitched to, respond positively and you can just wait for the signals that they want to talk(while still pretending to be doing ****).

If you walk up to a customer with you body facing them, looking at them attentively, it doesn't matter if you are only greeting them; They'll immediately resist you thinking you are about to pitch.

[tdnick]

I say I'm just looking and if I have a question, then I'll ask. If I wanted to be bugged with questions and trying to show me something I didn't want, I will let you know

[cheeksbrah]

Was in commercial truck sales before I went back to school. Every time someone told me this I replied,"Well my name is Cheeksbrah, if you have any questions about pricing or anything I'll be in the office if you need me." And hand them my card. 9/10 they came in the office to talk to me. Some people just want their space.

[feelymcfeel]

If i want help, i'll come and ask for it. Otherwise, leave me the **** alone.

[ClothesRod]

i have them show me everything in the store then say ill maybe come back later

[Preban_AR15]

I always like to pick the product out myself so I don't have to tip. That's why I always refuse help. That's why I do my research at home first.

[drewbagel423]

Did you tip them?

[SketchBrah]

people who complain about being ask if they need help, probably 8/10 people i ask are waiting to be asked for help or need help. so you need to ask every customer that because you never know they might not be sociopaths like us miscers in stores.

[Trapstar4.4]

Come on OP get aggressive!
When they say 'im just looking' you ask them what they are looking for.
If they tell u nothing in particular then show them something cool and start your sales pitch. Tell then why they want the item but just havent realized until now. From this point on nobody shuts u down before u do your think

[ShoooterMcGavin]

thats why im polite, if they ask me how im doing im say good and u? if they ask me if i need help just say no just lookin dog.

dont know why some people are so rude.

[fishnbrah]

"cool, take a look around and let me know if you have any questions."

dead serious ******* OP

[BusterMudd]

Teh problem is, most folks who say "No thanks, just looking" then come back five minutes later with a laundry list of questions, which eats up a chunk of the salesperson's time & energy, potentially prevents the salesperson from dealing with an actual customer, and allows the Window Shopper/Tire Kicker to then take the knowledge they extracted from the salesperson and go elsewhere to make their purchase.

So if I'm the salesperson and you say to me "I'm just looking" I know that really means "I'm not buying" and so you shouldn't be surprised if I then disappear right about the time you wanna ask me how many miles per gallon that CD player gets.

[debo9111]

yeah op like you were just gunna say hi how are you and walk away when they said theyre good. you know your ass was all pissed because that was the intro to your sales pitch and they werent having it. ohhhhhh, they didnt let me even sell them anything. how dare they. they should have just said no thanks when you walked up to them. silly salesman all butthurt.

[Jayo7k]

It's because most of the time when I go to a store I know what I want. I can easily go get the item I want, bring it to the register and pay for it. I don't need your help in doing that and you should be glad that I am not bothering you. Thanks

so basically your job is just about dealing with the people who will give you a commission. if people arent going to put money in your pockets they should not come in the door. lol.
