Strike While The Iron Is Hot - Salesman
Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Mar 3, 2023 (message contributor)
Now ... Salespeople especially understand what it means to ... Strike while the iron is Hot
I was reading an article written by Pat Zaby, .... a nationally known Real Estate speaker.
He stated, ... One weekend, I told a friend that I was thinking of buying a convertible....
So, ... the first thing Monday morning ... I logged into the Internet web site CarPoint.com.
I picked out a car I liked, .... the color, .... the interior ... and all of the accessories.
Within moments, ... CarPoint gave me the sticker price ... as well as ... the dealer invoice.
Later that same morning, ... I received a call... the voice said: .... "This is Owen Evans with Autobahn Motor Cars in Ft. Worth, ... and we have your auto,".
"WHAT?" ... I responded.
The salesman reminded me ... that I had been on the Internet earlier ... and had been looking for ... a particular car.
I said, "Yes, ... but I wasn't serious about buying."
"That's OK... we have the model and color of car that you requested ... and wondered i... f you would like to see it?"
I told him ... that his dealership was in Ft. Worth, ...and I was in Dallas .... maybe I will come over sometime later this week.
"You don't understand," he said. ... "I'll drive it right over to your office ... and you can see it ... right now".
I am sure you know what happened.
I'm the proud owner of a Carnival Red convertible.
I was sending out buying signals ... and this sales professional ... "struck while the iron was hot."
