So in the last couple years I have seen the purchase of a few cars. I can not STAND some car salesmen...and while most people can't stand them because they are "sleazy" I can't stand them because most of them are idiots. SO here are the reasons car salesmen totally turn me off and if/when they do these things...I refuse to sign the papers just on principle.
1) You see that I am a girl, and I came in with a guy, so you go talk to the guy. When he says to talk to me because I am the one looking for a car, you still don't take me seriously. I will not buy a car from you because you don't make an effort to find out what I like and don't think I am the decision maker. NOPE not buying that car from you.
2) You didn't spend the time to learn your used car inventory. If I come in and ask you what the price is and you go "uhhhh...ummm...hmmmm...what is this?...uhhhhh ok let me run in and check" If you don't know anything about whats on your lot...you failed. You have so much downtime you should go and learn whats on your lot. NOPE not buying from you.
3) Similar to number 3...You can't answer my questions about your NEW car inventory. If I ask you what the difference is between the trim packages and you don't know, well thats stupid. My boy's Mom went in to check out the new generation of Nissan Maxima and the salesman's mind was blown when she had to find and show him where the heated steering wheel button was. You should be keeping up with new innovations your company is coming out with, don't be ignorant or I won't buy anything from you. Sorry you just lost a sale cuz NOPE not buying from you.
4) You don't bother listening to me. When I tell you I want that bright blue, I WANT THE BRIGHT BLUE! Don't try and get me to buy another color I WANT THE BLUE! If I tell you I want a sporty hatchback, don't try and sell me an old mid-sized sedan because I obviously don't want that. I'm leaving because nope not buying from you.
5) When you stand at the front door smoking and when one of you comes to talk to me the rest of you stand and stare. You perpetuate your tacky sleazy-ness. When you smoke and throw your cigarettes on the ground and stare at your colleague trying to sell us, it doesn't make me feel like buying from your dealership. It seems like you don't care about where you work and how you get the job done. I don't want to buy a car from a company like that. Why don't you guys make yourselves useful or hey go learn your inventory. Because right now...nope I don't wanna buy anything from you.
So car salesman FIX your actions and start selling those cars in the new age. People care if you care. People want to be listened to so see to their needs. Women make a lot of decisions these days and if they want something specific LISTEN to them don't try and get chummy with the men they are with because that just pisses us off. And for heaven's sake, you have enough down time to smoke cigarettes and chit chat with each other, LEARN ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT! Sure not a lot of people know the difference between trim packages but there are a bunch who do and they find it irritating when you stammer.
Thank you.
