To the Salesmen Who Prejudged Me: Here’s What You Missed
When salespeople judge potential clients by appearances, they miss out on fantastic opportunities. I know this firsthand, and I want to share my story with the salespeople who assumed I wasn't a serious buyer. They truly underestimated what they lost.
Our Journey
After my husband and I moved from the East to the West and started a marketing company, our hard work paid off. We soon found our dream home?"a beautiful 2,400 sq. ft. house with two bedrooms, complete with an in-floor spa and an atrium skylight.
Inspired by model homes, we wanted interior shutters for our new place. We decided to visit the design studio responsible for those shutters. Dressed casually in jeans and sweatshirts after a long day, we might not have looked the part, but we were ready to buy.
The First Encounter
As we entered the studio, a bell chimed, and we overheard a dismissive comment, "Oh, they're just walk-ins." Ignoring this, I asked about getting measurements for our new windows. Without asking for a price, I confidently expressed my desire for the shutters.
The salesperson, exuding a snooty attitude, remarked, "They're expensive, you know." Unfazed, I confirmed that it was fine. Later, he called our office, suddenly enthusiastic after visiting our house, eager to handle all our decorating needs. Despite buying the shutters, his initial attitude cost him the rest of our business.
Another Missed Opportunity
On a whim, we decided to buy a new car. We visited a Cadillac showroom, drawn to a stunning turquoise Eldorado. However, the lone salesman suggested we return for a test drive because they were about to close.
Recognizing his lack of interest, we crossed the street and purchased a Lincoln Town Car instead.
The Lesson
Prejudging means making assumptions without knowing the full story. People reveal their true character by how they treat those they underestimate. In both scenarios, assumptions were made based on appearances. We may wear jeans, but dismissing us turned out to be a costly mistake. Remember, your pocket suffers when you prejudge.
