These Are The Most Annoying Sales Tactics You'll Deal With (r/AskReddit)

what's the most annoying sales tactic you've experienced those street vendors that try to put a bracelet on your arm as a gift and even force it on your arm if you refuse then ask for money they get very rude when you ignore them and they try to intimidate you I've experienced this but with people trying to pass off their demo CDs they'll hand you a CD and then ask you for five dollars I don't know your music I didn't ask you to hand me anything and I'm not giving you five dollars so in Beijing outside the Forbidden City there are a bunch of people trying to sell you those red decoration thingies there are so many of them blocking the path so you just have to push past all the venn the funny thing was that there was someone with a megaphone constantly yelling don't trust these people they are all fake he was probably selling megaphones telemarketer hello there I'm calling in relation to your recent traffic accident me um no I actually don't drive nor do I own a car Q awkward silence telemarketer are you sure the overly enthusiastic charity collectors in London and most busy cities really be recognizable by their matching raincoats and clipboards trying to get you to give them your direct debit information so they can take a monthly donation usually gap year students I have a particular hatred for the ones from shelter who like to hang around outside my office building I submitted my resume to a job application then a few days later got a phone call back the lady stated that she was calling regarding my recent application and started asking me questions about my current employment past education and what industries I wanted to work in I assumed this was some sort of on the phone interview so I was being super polite and answering all the questions - 45 minutes later she suggests that I take an online course to better help my chances of getting a job in the future the fake ass job used my info to try and sell me crappy online classes I was so freaking mad walking through a shopping centre desk with woman standing in front of it her would you like to help disabled people I poor me number no I don't want to help disabled people I attract question that I recognized immediately they approached me when I'm eating at a public area asking excuse me can you spare five minutes of your time only if you give me your home address so I can come and take five minutes of your time while you eat dinner would you like to buy this bacon hummus no we don't like bacon it doesn't even taste like bacon I worked at a call center for some time people called me to place orders and we had the opportunity to upsell related products to their order and earn some Commission on it I had a 90 percent offer rate and a 15 percent acceptance rate I liked getting the extra money but one time I talked an old lady into buying a pair of socks to go along with her boots she was buying and she said something to the effect of oh well if you say so and I felt kind of bad but didn't think much of it until my supervisor came to me and said I listened to that call good job elderly people have lots of money and few brains so it's easy to con them out of a few more dollars after that day I never up sold an item to someone who seemed really old your supervisor is a crappy salesperson and crappy person you shouldn't have to be an ethical to be good at your job upselling worked for EB Games want to printer want a game card game guarantee I got a job at a department store while in high school they assigned me to the electronics department where almost every item was eligible for the stores extended warranty they made us sit through a seminar that was supposed to give us pointers for how to make people purchase these warranties my two favorite suggestions were if a person declines simply say perhaps I didn't explain it properly the first time I found that most people tend to purchase the warranty once they fully understand the benefits allow me to go over it with you one more time the other was that if they seem adamant about not wanting the warranty simply look them in the eye and say I really want you to have this even a 16 that struck a some mob enforcement boss mom I would highly recommend purchasing this to insure that you don't have any accidents if know what I'm saying I don't need this bloatware antivirus I don't need a support line I don't need anything over the manufacturer warranty know that I have a degree in this stuff and have worked with computers for the past eight years stop offering me stuff a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman ran mom's doorbell when she opened it he quickly introduced himself then came inside with the vacuum to demonstrate at which point he threw a bag of debris on the floor plugged in the vacuum and started cleaning her room she just looked at me in disbelief because we couldn't get rid of him he just kept going on and on about the attachments and suction I do what I always do reply no thanks I'm vegan for example one time exiting the grocery store I was asked would you like to help kids with leukemia I replied no thanks I'm vegan foot in door it actually gives rise to rage in me luckily this never affected me directly but it always bums me out to see cosmetics brands exploiting the fragile self-esteem of acne patients I'm looking at you proactive and claryce all by our products and you'll be finally worth loving you ugly piece of crap it didn't even work for me I hate when the salespeople are trained to have a particular routine they have to follow and will not deviate from I see this a lot in the car selling industry me hi I would like to buy our and I've done my research and I'm willing to pay dollar sign for it give that a deal let's do it Celeste good

can offer samples for you to try go to toilet come back shake their hand currently estate agents I sent a one table email from Zoopla were one of those property sites and in the email I stated my price ranges I need a place to live with a garage I don't care how many bedrooms I would like it to not be in the rougher areas of the city as I need the garage for my expensive motorcycle if it does not have a garage don't rl2 me about it it is a deal-breaker I then got about 20 calls the next day getting put on their system and so many will like well there is this property and although it doesn't have a garage there is parking I'd stop them and say no garage did you read my original email I have a property here that you could build a garage on - true then having spent my life savings on a new place I won't be able to afford a garage for at least couple of years they are freaking relentless from what I understand they try to get you booked into lots of viewings even for places that you definitely won't buy so that the seller thinks there is lots of interest towards the end of the week I just told a state agents that I wasn't looking to buy anymore when they asked why I told them that I was fed up with pushy estate agents not reading all two of the requirements for my budget I don't have anything that meets your requirements but I do have well shut up then the requirements are things I require preferences are things I am willing to change any of the people that the kiosk stands in the malls I can't stand them telemarketer scammer hello and good afternoon sir I'm calling from Microsoft to alert you to a virus problem with your computer me this is a scam isn't it telemarketer scammer yes sir me no thank you he never called back haha we get those calls all the time at the office and everyone uses Mac so we just transfer the call around please hold Bob nhr mentioned he had a virus you'll want to speak to him some tubby dude tried to sell me shower rings at a bus station one time by claiming they were earrings but they were helium-filled very lightweight plus they made you look several years older I was in Biloxi with the Air Force as a young 19 year old airman I was shopping at the mall and this dude from a jewelry store could tell I was Air Force and I sat down and listened to his pitch it was for Mother's Day jewelry costing maybe $500 now for some Airmen who are receiving paychecks larger than they've ever seen myself included locals could sell Mitsubishi's and jewelry and life insurance under the guise of both the products and building credit he asked about my mom who had died the year prior after suffering a debilitating stroke eight years prior to that I did t want to be a donor so I said she's great I love her well I listened to his pitch and refused the sale he asked if I truly loved her then I said of course and left very annoying really persistent people who keep on at a pet shop there was a rep flogging a well-known dog food brand that was on offer my dog has a grain allergy there are only a few brands that don't end up in him scratch in his ears and feet until they bleed would you like to try this it's on offer no thanks it's a lot cheaper than usual you could stock up no my dog won't eat it if you keep offering only this for a few days they will have to eat it he can't he has allergies but this is Dell evoke by vets but it's not hypoallergenic is it you can try it and see I check the label the main ingredient is cereal even on sale it's more expensive and the usual food I would be paying almost double at its full cost despite explaining this she still kept on tossing random clothes over the changing room for me to try on when I didn't ask for them those are just disgruntled employees trying to help you shoplift those kiosks in the mall selling overpriced lotions and what-have-you sssh don't tell my manager or anyone else because I could get in trouble but I'll give you 40% off if you buy two or some loose variant of that it's always them saying not to tell other customers about the discount they're giving you mostly because you'll find out it's just the regular price and they do it too literally everyone whenever I get sucked into a sales pitch I always see how long it takes for them to bring that one out it's never longer than five minutes when I was nine years old some guy with a buggy shopping cart came out of an alleyway and sold me an electric organizer for five dollars he told me they were selling like hotcakes that alone was enough to get me to buy that piece of junk I've worked in direct sales so I know what's going on when they ask leading questions the one that always makes me laugh is when the sales rep particularly telemarketers give you a choice I would you rather this form of insurance or this form of insurance places like car dealerships et Cie that hiked the price up expecting you to haggle so when they lower it a bit still usually more than its actual worth anyway they make out like you're doing doing you a favor haggle until you are ashamed of yourself then haggle twice as much they won't sell a car at a loss so once you notice that it really won't go any lower then you can start girl have staples started crying when I wouldn't get the antivirus on my computer it worked though I bought the antivirus that was her plan all along sympathy for the devil or a low-cut top I was in a bookstore one time and there was a man in his early 20s kind of pacing at the end of the aisle I looked like he was working up the nerve to talk to me finally he said you look very familiar you do business in this area don't you can I ask your name at this point it didn't come off as a sales pitch I honestly thought he recognized me from my work of the charity events I was a part of I gave him my first name and he proceeds to launch into his anway sales pitch plugging my name into it every 10 seconds nope get lost chief in India if you're trying to cross the road at a really busy stretch of road and a taxi auto rickshaw person calls up right in front of you asking if you need a ride that's when you just have to climb over there car car dealerships most of those places have now reached timeshare level tactics as a 27 year old guy millennial they do not understand how to sell to the younger generation that has been inundated with ads and drowned financially you want to make the sale start with the MSRP and tell me you can't knock it down from there I don't want to pussyfoot around your games for days on end I also don't want to come into your dealership and have you asked me for a commitment to buy a $30 K vehicle after test driving two of them and spending an hour with you they have no respect for the buyer also if you can't take it when I tell you to gfy when you pretend like you're doing me a favor at $500 off the ticket price don't whine to your boss and bring him in as a big closer it's pathetic free free free just cancel in 30 days free we need your CC and photo lol once haggled with a foreign guy who said I'll give you shutup price car salesman when they say I have to go check with the manager no you freaking don't here is what I will pay yes or no that's it I once walked out on a truck purchase over two hundred and fifty dollars difference I told him I would do $14 K not a penny more it was a decent price I wasn't low balling he went from $16 K to $15 K to fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars to fifteen thousand five hundred dollars to fifteen thousand two hundred and fifty dollars each frickin time he had to talk to the manager I got so PJ just left he said you are losing out on a truck over two hundred and fifty dollars I said no you are and I left rule number one when shopping for a car don't need it be prepared to walk away the whole I gotta have it will let you to pay more than you should the mall kiosk people selling a salt scrub that may or may not be from the Dead Sea they are the most obnoxious pushy people and usually start out by pointing out flaws like dry skin or enlarged pores look I know my skin isn't perfect but you'll never get a cent out of me as long as your total stranger insulting my appearance when I bought my current car go in expecting to do the whole low hi meet in the middle shenanigans had my initial low off there accepted via email got excited as it was forty percent under the asking price get to showroom actually we can't do that much other discount ended up getting quite a good deal but still salty about being lied to in order to make me come to the showroom and then another thing was my colleague getting to three calls a week after he wrote his car off hitting a badger there pretty solid apparently asking if he wanted to make a claim against the other party involved in his accident when my bank calls me to sell me debt rental life insurance number I already pay you people to hold on to my money and play with it stop calling me at dinner time twice a week hello I was wondering if you Frick off I am going into freaking labor oh okay mom good luck with the baby sadly I've had the worst experiences with fund raisers

noticed what's going on I told him to freak himself with his wannabe Jedi tricks and left the place I don't buy anything from such manipulative buttholes jewelry stores like Jared some of the people that work there are horrible salespeople I had some young smug crap head right out of college selling me my fancies engagement ring I told him my budget yet he kept bringing me stones and rings that were over my budget I told him if he brought me one more ring over my budget I was walking out when someone says they have a budget they have a freaking budget it's not an invitation to try to push them higher when they make a new PC Xbox ps4 game that is crap and then say we also add there a make of a game that everyone liked a few years back and that you really want but to get that you need to pay $80 for the both of them this guy came to my place trying to sign me up to give a little money to cancer research every month and he said that they'd found a cure in some Amazonian plant he was so charming and convincing that he got me to sign up later I looked it up and couldn't find a shred of evidence so I had to go through an entire process to get and subscribed from the thing what a scam that guy was running for a good cause I guess but he went about it in the wrong way stalkers you know the type come up and politely ask you if you need help etc you say no but tell them you will go to
