Seriously? - How about this?

in #seriously7 years ago

Me: "I'd like to order one of the Silver HP AMD Laptop's

Supplier: "Ooh, it says gold on my list?"

Me: "They look silver in the picture?"

Supplier: "Well I'm showing gold."

Me: "I'll need to speak to my customer, I'm not sure he will want it."

Supplier: "Wait and I'll look. I've got a Grade B?"

Me: "No, I need Grade A."

Supplier: "I've got an intel one?"

Me: "No, the advert was AMD!"

Supplier: "I've got a purple one?"

Me: "No! We already established I want a silver one."

Supplier: "What about a Dell?"

Me: "Aye? Dell's are mostly black and I want the HP."

Supplier: "Well its not got the Radeon graphics card anyway."

Me: "So why offer it me?"

Supplier: "Well I'm still looking but I was thinking that maybe on the off-chance..."

Me: "You're quickly running out of chances tbh. You keep looking and ring me back.

I ended up buying the gold one in the end. Sheesh, and you thought customers were a pain!

Isn't it a sales person's job to sell people what you have and not what they want?

When it comes to my suppliers, I'm the customer. LOL
