Bad sales people

No reason to post this other than a way for me to vent. About a month ago I thought I'd check with one of the dealers in my area to see if they had an idea as to when they might have a Wolverine for me to come see. This dealership does a lot of business and they recommend that you send them an email if you want schedule some time with a sales person. Well I didn't want to do that since I know they don't have any yet so I sent them a message kind of like a "chat" forum. So this guy gets on and I tell him what I'm looking at and first off he wants me to "schedule" a meeting with a sales rep and they can show me what they have and I told him that's not necessary as I had done my research and had pretty much decided on the Wolverine. He replied something to the effect that I should come in and check out their lineup and he promised me that I did not want that machine. So what is this guy trying NOT to make a sale?? That pretty much ended it for me. I am no expert by any means but I've owned most of them at time or another and been riding them since the '80's so I pretty much know what I want at this time in my life. How does a place like that justify idiots like him on the payroll? I am serious about owning one and by me contacting them I was allowing them a chance at my business but not now. Screw 'em. Ok I'm done thanks for listening.

But he has the one he wants to sell ya in stock now!
Sounds like my local Yamaha dealer in town. I called and asked if they had any idea when then would be getting any in. All I got was some "um, well, ah". Asked if they had any pricing on them yet and got the same "Um, well, ah". If I decide to get one looks like I'll be making the 45 min drive to the dealer that I got my last 2 machines from that actually has a clue.
I drove 4 hours each way to buy my rzr when there is a dealer less than a mile from my house. The local dealer wouldn't even come out and talk to me on the lot.
Dealer I bought my grizzly from told me 3rd week of April, it sounded like I was taking up to much of his time. Some people need to find a new job.
sadly, the majority of the powersports sales teams out there are still working off the old "car salesman" model. it's really a shame, too, because they don't have to. i've run a business for 35 years now and by proxy have been in sales almost every day. people want to be treated with respect, not like a paycheck.

ALWAYS treat others the way you want to be treated.
