If you are in a small business you probably hate all the salespeople constantly harassing you and I especially hate it; how about you? If you run a retail business and put a sign on the door that says; No Soliciting; that only stops about half of those little bastards. Some people think that whatever they are selling is so darn important that you cannot live without it? Of course some of the stuff that people are trying to paddle when they come into your store is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. But what is the best way to ditch these obnoxious salespeople? I mean, shooting them is against the law and yelling at them makes no sense if there are also customers in your store, as you look like a crazy person. And maybe you are I don't know. Nevertheless, your customers have no idea that, that is the 50th person who has come yet to try to sell you something that week and every one of them has sat there and interrupted your business. Can you imagine if you had all the time back from all the sales people who came into your store in wasted your time? Well, you can never have that time back but there are ways to ditch the salespeople. One way is to sell them something. Another is to tell them that you're going to sell the business next month and you do not want to buy anything ask them if they want to buy your business. Another way is to hand out a Jahovas Witness Awana magazine and tell them to read that a come back tomorrow because you would like to pray with them about the end of days. Consider all those in 2006. |
