360+ I agree with you except when you use the term"all". Yes, there are some real plaid coat creeps out there that are just after your wallet.
Now, If you will send me your mailing address and only $149.95 plus shipping and handling, I will send you one of what I sell (please allow six to eight weeks for delivery). You will love it!!! You have my word as a salesman.
Yes, there are some good ones, and as a good reader of character, I can usually distinguish the difference right away. However, I have also met sales idiots who made this person look suave in comparison!
When I was a kid in HS, I worked at a used car lot washing and detailing cars. It was owned by two partners who gave me my first introduction to hardcore salesmen. These guys did things as a matter of routine that made me VERY uncomfortable, even questioning their legality in many cases. Lets just say the objective was to get the customers name on the sales contract, and then get them and the car off the lot.
But getting back to this gadget you're selling me... is it the "new and improved" model? I'm a sucker for new and improved.
