I travel all over this country selling my products at Boat shows, Fairs, Festivals, etc. I do one on one demonstrations and when it comes time to close the sale, the things I hear MOST are, "I'll be back" or "Let me walk around and think about it". Now keep in mind that these are small ticket items--$15-$25. I know that is the customers way of getting out of buying it and I also know that NOT EVERYONE WILL BUY IT. Thats fine. I just wish for one day that people would be honest and say things like. "I do like your product but I really am not interested in purchasing it". "Thank you for you time". or "I am just interested".
I am not alone in this, as many vendors feel the same way.
The next time you are at one of these events and someone cleans your shoes, cleans a ring for you, does a make up demonstration, what ever it is---BE HONEST WITH THEM. Stop making excuses for not buying the product. We are all adults and we do NOT expect everyone to buy. BE HONEST PLEASE!
