Everyone involved in business has to sell at one time or another and Realtors are certainly no exception. It’s why the following list of really stupid things people have said at sales meetings tickled my fancy. I’ve listed seven here for your enjoyment, the complete list is available at the Entrepreneur Corner Website. If you have any ‘great’ stories please let us know below. Enjoy
1. From a Seller: “We flew to a client, and the head of the department came to the lobby to tell us that our key contact died during the night. And my boss said, ‘Well, who’s her replacement? We flew up here and expect to present to someone.”
2. From a Seller: “I fell asleep. While the client was talking. They had to poke me to rouse me.”
3. From a Buyer: “I was working for Dr. Pepper. A vendor catered lunch at headquarters. With Coke products.”
4. From a Seller: “A seller said, ‘What’s your title? We usually present to someone higher up than you.”
5. From a Buyer: “I always make a point to say hello when vendors visited my team. One day, I did my drive by hello, and when I left the room the rep said, “Your boss is smokin’. Is she single?”
6. From a Buyer: “Spelling my name wrong on slide one. It’s Smith.”
7. From a Buyer: “We had a salesman that visited monthly and told me stories of his drunken escapades. After six months, I told him I’m Mormon and didn’t care for it. So he apologized, and then joked ‘So, how many wives you got?’”
