Rules of a Salesman

[General]
I just cannot believe the levels that some people stoop to. I have been in business for about 15 years in one capacity or another and I have witnessed some slimy actions but the last three years take the cake. A friend of mine was called by a company I used to work for and solicited to by Internet marketing yesterday, he told me of the conversation and it made me realize how fortunate I am to no longer be involved with that company. He asked me if he should proceed with this service because he knows what I used to do for a living in a related field and also that I worked for a company similar to the one soliciting him. This person is the perfect example of a family man down on his luck in a bad housing market. I asked him what this company was offering and he proceeded to tell me that they were promising a number of things that I knew they couldn't provide. I had no problem informing him that he would have a better chance letting some friends of mine at Mind Development build him a simple website and educate himself on basic SEO.
It makes me ask myself why people feel the need to do business in such a shady manner. I have by no stretch of the imagination been perfect, I will paint a sales picture just like anyone,Bo Jackson raiders Jersey, but I won't outright lie to a customer. If a customer asks me a question that may lose a sale with an honest answer,Cheap Joe Klecko Jersey, I answer honestly and overcome the objection. Do I win every time, NO, but I sleep at night. What troubles me are the people who deceive people and lose no sleep over it. Whether you wear a suit or overalls, you can be a cheap slimy hustler all the same. I have been witness to a person drive up a price on a customer because they knew they were loyal and wouldn't shop around, I have heard people on a recording say "if I don't get anything out of this I won't be able to put food on my table" and then the sales rep runs their credit card,Cheap Cowboys Jerseys, and they know there is basically no chance of them getting anything that quickly. What ever happened to doing business in an ethical way? Do people not understand that if you treat people fairly then they will do business with you for the rest of your career? I can tell you this, the relationships I built in the finance industry and the ones I made in the security industry are strong ones that would give me their ear on any product. Do right by the people you do business with, because if you do, you will make ten times the sales you would from just selling that one person a product in a deceptive way.
Do right by the people you do business with, they live with the same stresses and issues that u do for the most part. Make the sale because they have a need and you can provide an effective solution. Don't screw a trusting prospect because you only have $200 to hit goal, it will come back to haunt you. Never compromise you own principles to line someone else's pockets. Understand that being successful isn't only what your W2 says, it is what your conscience says as well.
