When I was in sales, I would tell my customers not to just believe me and buy immediately. They should go home, look up what I'm telling them, and then come back after verifying if I was offering the best product at a good price, because I was a salesman and you should never trust someone in sales.
Of course, that made them instantly trust me immensely, and they'd insist on buying on the spot because they wanted honest Chilie to get the commission.
What they should have done is gone home and looked things up. I was a salesman and I shouldn't have been trusted.
I made more in sales once I stopped giving a fuck and decided I was quitting (or ideally getting fired) the only question was when.
"I want you to give me your best price! I'm doing my shopping around and I'm going with whoever does me the best deal"
"No offence mate but why would I do that? So you can go to the next dealership with my price and tell them to beat it? Why dont you go to them, ask them for their best price and bring that back for me to beat?
"I cant believe this!"
"We all get them off the manufacturer for the same price. I dont mean any disrespect but I'm better off waiting for customers who desperately just want approval for the finance at sticker price. I'll get you the best deal I possibly can but I'm not doing the work if you tell me you're leaving no matter what."
