Clunkers Part Three
In case you are wondering where I have been, I continued to work on that fun project from last Tuesday. Played some golf a couple of nights last week with the kids and bought a car. Well, almost on the car. I need to pick it up. But the phone calls and paperwork etc do add up.
The rest of the addition will be in driving to Vermont to pick it up. I know the dealer and trust him so I will go that far to do the deal. Especially after the guy down here wanted $1000 to a search. My brother told me of a coworker of his who was subjected to the old bait and switch. Sure, cmon in we have the car you want for $30,000. When he showed up it turns out they made a mistake, the car he wanted was actually $34,000 but since you are here why don’t you take a look. He didn’t. Amazing. Is this 1974?
It is 2009, please don’t use those tired and tacky techniques with your customers.
Oh, and because I will drive to (in the clunker) and from (in the new car) Vermont in the next few days, I may not post early this week. But if you subscribe by RSS feed it comes to you automatically anyway. If you dont…you can and it will save you time..
