I feel this on the other side of the transaction haha. I’m a dancer and I spend most of my time in sweats or something comfy when I’m not working, but I still make big purchases from time to time! A lot of the time salespeople are uninterested in helping me, probably because I’m so dressed down.
@@emilyfines4216 I was amazed that my coworkers didn't learn not to make assumptions even after I broke yearly sales records and got promoted. I greeted and helped everyone, it isn't difficult just to be kind. Some people stand fast to their internal judgement systems no matter what alternative proof presents itself to them.
My dad was a car salesman most of his life. And would tell me stories like this. He always treated customers the same no matter what they were dressed like.
Respect I recently bought a Lamborghini engine and put it in my car. People treated me poorly because I’m not wearing the new stuff but they gave the commission to the new guy and the other guys got jealous because they’ve been there many years. I just laughed at them.
I bet your dad did very well out of that. My former boss got the cold shoulder treatment from one car dealer when he was looking to replace the company fleet of utes and land cruisers. After 45 minutes of waiting he asked to see the manager. Should him his bank account with enough to buy them all then walked out. Haha
Anything surrounding Lamborghini the brand and the man who founded the company is about recognising humanity. I watched on the Lamborghini movie when he said "You don't have to be shy to drive a Lamborghini. You buy a Ferrari when you want to be someone. You buy a Lamborghini when you're someone." I guess based on the Ferrucio was judged by Enzo when he was a farmer making tractors is the reason you don't have to judge anyone who walks into a Lamborghini showroom because anyone can drive a Lamborghini unlike Ferraris where you have to be invited to buy one. Crazy.....
I was only 21 and in college when the GM of Toyota dealership hired me. I was his test crash dummy as he was trying something new with me as being young and lacking the salesman attitude and pushy sales, he wanted to give his customers the non stealership pressure sales experiences with a guy like myself. This was during the dot comer days and I was in the heart of the silicon valley. Since I was new, I had my learning curve so I practiced with basically anybody and even got scolded by other sales guy as I was talking it up with their customers. Lol Long story short, it was around lunch time and a guy in shirts n sandals came into the floor. Other sales guys would just ignored him because in car sales, we called them jack as jack will waste your time and will not buy anything. They would push all them jacks to me, the new guy. Turns out, this guy was an executive of a tech company and he was buying 10 vehicles as a bonus package for his new hires. I became a dangerous sales guy thereafter and I took my selling skills to other industries and excel in those industries as well. Thank you GM Michael from Stevens Creek Toyota in San jose for believing in me.
@@user-xo4om8qv6mOnly one way to find out: Track down GM Steve from the Toyota dealership that he specified and ask him/they/them to confirm the story.
Funny. Those guys were total assholes. Was going to buy a car there but they flipped Me to a different salesman who rebuffed on the offer. Drove my Nissan there and showed the Sales Manager.
I read that and i'm not tierd or repeating it: that's the difference between rich people and wealthy people. Also what Chris Rock said: Shaq is rich, the old guy who signs his paychecks is WEALTHY.
Yo I earn almost half a million right now but don't believe in buying crazy clothing brands and stuff, use my phone for at least 2 to 3 years and like to use public transport and bike. I dress appropriately as per latest fashion but never lavishly. It is appalling the treatments I get when in a luxury shop if I want to buy a gift for a loved one. At this point I don't find this treatment as an insult but rather a filter to keep bad people out. This also keeps the social circle smaller but a stronger one.
My wife and I bought a new car years ago. One dealer ignored her as she looked around so I said, let's go, and we went down the road and bought. Then I took it back to the 1st dealer and asked to see the owner who was on site. You could have sold this but these punks ignored her. Just thought you'd like to know. He fired 2 salesmen in front of her and apologized.
Worked with farmers all my life. Several years ago a client drive a white completely baseline Ford 150. No radio, black floormats, no carpet, standard transmission. Not an option in sight. He always had me fill out his check before he signed it. Always said that he forgot his glasses. Actually, he couldn't read or write, but he was worth over $250 million. He used to own a ton of land that was sold to developers but still liked to do his own work. Nobody ever knew that he was wealthy. He only wore dirty coveralls. Really nice guy.
Reminds me of my friends real estate agent mom telling a story of going to a planning board meeting in my town. This is in NJ. She was apalled almost everyone on the planning board were in overalls/coveralls/flannel. I said "yep, they probably parked their tractors and went right to the meeting. Every one of them owns over 400acres, probably half of them went to old money private high schools, have college degrees and generational wealth."
Not only he treated his customer with such dignity on his first day,but also held up his word to Rebecca even though she is not around,solid guy, man of integrity ❤🎉🎉
lol this scene is from the TV show White Collar. "Nick Halden" is a career conman. He wasn't an employee. Rebecca was his mark that episode because he needed her boyfriend's information. The sale was part of an elaborate plan to get into her computer. It's a convoluted episode and the character does have a kind of integrity, but it's not as simple as the scene makes it seem
@@jpl8878ah i see. One of the reasons i hate short form content Lol. So much context was taken out that i too thought along the lines of what the OP said.
That would be a good message if this wasn't an example of him using a guy they ignore to get all the information he needed. Rebecca wasn't a friend of his she was protecting someone he was looking for. He's a conman and cooperating informant for an FBI team not a new salesman.
@@marcning918It's never a good message. All it's saying is not to have anybody in your life that you can't use for something and to treat the ones that you can't use the same way. That is not a good way to live life
@@chrisconaway2549 I don't think you understood the first point. It means if you want to know someone's true character pay attention to how he treats people who can in no way help them meet their goals. If they treat everyone with the same amount of respect or not. My comment was more pointing out that people missed the context based on how little of the story is presented here. This was not an example of someone treating someone with the same level of respect as everyone else. It was an example of him using the failure of the staff to do so to get information he needed for his own purposes. He's a convicted con man and forger turned FBI informant who needed information about a man the woman he mentioned was hiding. He got that information by pretending to be a new hire working with her and getting a sale that required the salesman to let him in their computer system. Context the video leaves out because you don't see any of the setup. So people see the video as an example of treating someone with respect can get you things others miss instead of what's actually going on.
A friend’s dad did this too. He grew up as a fisherman, a shrimper to be exact. He owned a fleet of boats and went looking for a new car for his wife. He looked at the Lincolns first and was ignored so he went to the local GM dealership and was treated with respect and paid cash for a new Cadillac. I grew up with men like him, some of the richest men drove old trucks and wore work clothes. They were very down to earth.
That guy must have million friends because that's like 10th time I've heard that story over the years. Just like that lady that was charged $250 for the Nieman Marcus cookie recipe. Another popular variation of the story is a shabbily dressed guy pulling his millions of dollars out of the bank after being treated poorly and taking it to the bank accross the street. It's a parable about how you should treat people that is about as old as civilization.
@@john22344 But then again, story about buying lincoln and GM car...is it that rare? This story sounds so generic, because it happens every day I guess...
Richest guys I know are farmers, real estate, and construction business guys that you would NEVER in a million years know they were LOADED. One owns a scrape yard and is worth easily 50+ M and drives a flat bed F350 that has more dents in that the truck off the old movie Twister.
My owner at our construction firm is an Irish immigrant. In business for 35 years. Multimillionaire. Drives a 200k mile Toyota Sequoia. Still drinks dunks, still wears cheap t shirts, still works on his own garden/yard. Still does electrical work from time to time. Not everyone cares about showing off their riches
I have a friend who sells harvesting equipment. Also at trade fairs. He once sold a harvester worth 1.2 million each in cash at a trade fair to a farmer with holes in his pants and an old leather suitcase full of money. He had seen him at the competition trying to draw attention to himself. After 10 minutes the farmer was grim and was stomping away angrily. He addressed him with "You look like someone who knows what he wants and I'm someone who would like to know what it is"
I always find it funny how some people underestimate farmers, if someone can afford buying a 2.5mil worth peace of equipment they can also afford to buy a luxurious car, most of them tho chose not to, because in their terrain the car whould not do well so they drive a 15 year old jeep because of how reliable some old cars are
I'm the mechanic and I once sold a 2018 zo6 because the guy wanted my opinion over the sales team because they ignored him when he asked specs, I made 5000$ in commission after a 2 hour conversation. Done it a few times since and now me and my family have definitely enjoyed those rewards... and the sales floor hates me, good lmao.
Facts. One of the first guys I met in car sales came in regular clothes, down to earth kind of guy and noticed he had a Rolex on, became friends and found out he owns a mansion in SoCal and gets a new luxury vehicle about every year (Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc) pays cash for all his vehicles. Also had a guy and his wife come in, plain clothes looking at a C7 Z06 when they were brand new for about 120k. Their combined income was around 250k and owned several rentals. Had another guy come in a wife beater that was stained with sweat and torn jeans, paid cash for a vehicle. On the other hand I've also had a guy come in with a suit and couldn't finance anything because he owed the government around a million dollars.
Long ago worked in a dealership as Salesman. Guy came in with an old F350 wearing a ripped dirty jacket and dirty work boots. He was buying a cheap used car for his daughter no one wanted him. Turns out he was a owner of a construction company. I sold him a car for his daughter and hardly made any commission and other laughed cause I wasted 4 hrs with him. He came the next week and traded his truck in for a new truck and upgraded his entire fleet. I sold him 24 trucks and one brand new SUV for his wife that day. That commission check was the biggest check I ever had. His jacket was torn and shoes dirty because his truck was stuck in the mud, so he came in a fleet truck. Edit: Commission check was around $17k for that week, which included front end and back end. The fleet vehicles used in construction costs around $80k minimum. Only 2 F450s had factory bed the rest were either F450 or F550 chassis cab with various options like hydraulic dump, flat bed, fifth wheel attachment, etc. Every single one was a 4x4 diesel. His wife got a limited expedition which at that time was around $75k. Buying business vehicles can be used as a tax write off.
Rich people do. Wealthy people don't. I worked with a guy who owns over 150 car carriers and was a preferred carrier for one of the big 3 I was talking to him once, he goes "I just got back from Texas for my high-school reunion, can you believe my old buddy is rich now?" I'm like dude wtf you're fucking loaded, he goes "No I'm not" He legit doesn't see himself as rich or wealthy, and 90% of his trucks are paid off but he's only got about 80% of them running because drivers are hard to get nowadays. He treats the drivers well also, pays decent and puts them in a hotel every night no sleeper cabs, and if he needs extra work he'll pay out the ass for it instead of just regular OT or a couple extra bucks.
It’s out of respect for others, private equity’s entrance to men’s fashion created the stigma of discomfort by cheapening out on fabrics and employees who couldn’t use a tape; releasing tailors in favor of sold inseams, and the destruction of retail.
“Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.” Proverbs 13:7 NLT Give your hearts and lives to Jesus Christ please, and prepare for when he comes back. Don’t be fooled by the anti christ
When I was 17 I was at a Ferrari dealership and asked if I could take pictures of the cars. The sales team said yea sure have fun, later I asked why they were so friendly and nice and they said “you could’ve been a rock star and bought one and made our day, but it was fun watching a kid having fun too.”
In Texas you never ignore customers. My grandpa was a multimillionaire and wore overalls with no shirt underneath but always carried around $10k cash in his front pouch pocket in case he ever came across a deal on something he could turn around and sell for a profit
@@thekiddocook1554 just for reference there are close to 4000 billionaires officially listed (now think about those that aren't on forbes). it's very likely that someone's relative could have a lot of money
My dad drove truck for a living. The owner of a company he worked for went to a truck show to buy some new trucks. He only ever wore work shorts and a navy singlet. So he turns up at the Mack stand to look at their new trucks( He was Mack through and through) but when he got there nobody would talk to him cos he looked like he didn’t have 2bob to his name. So he went over to Kenworth and bought 10 brand new trucks.
I sold used cars for like 6 months. One rainy day we had a family roll on the lot in this falling apart minivan. There were a few other sales guys there but nobody wanted to walk out and talk to them, “nobody buys a car on a rainy day” is what they told me. The dad bought the most expensive truck we had on the lot, the mom got a new (to her) minivan and they bought a car for their daughter. That was a good week lol
I had a salesman that sold me two vehicles back to back. We had a good relationship. While we were waiting for my second vehicle he sold me to get detailed he told me a story similar to this involving what they thought was some poor trailer type person. No other salesman wanted to touch her with a 10ft pole. Well long story short, he talked with her and took her around the lot to find a car that suited her. She ended up choosing some economy car because she’s never owned a car before. When he went to see about her finances she told him she would pay cash for the car. She showed him her bank account to get the ball rolling and he said he almost passed out. The woman’s mom had passed away and left her a $1 million dollar life insurance policy. He said never judge a book by its cover. He also was able to get salesman of the year by one car because of it.
uh... he's not a new salesman. He doesn't work there. He's a conman. His entire goal was to get logged into Rebecca's computer to get information he needed.
I once a Salesman selling IT stuffs and there is 1 guy looking for a laptop but all of my colleagues ignored him because he is wearing a basic Tshirt with a slipper. I attended to him once settled with current cust and he bought the most expensive Macbook Pro. Then during the payment he told me that, he did not need this powerful laptop but because of how nice I treated him, he bought it for my commission.
@@darkness2061yeah I worked in IT stuff, I’ve sold so many laptops and with often the job’s warranty, which was way overpriced, and bits of my soul with it. I was top 2 salesman of said company in the whole country once. My commission? 5$ store card for being the employee of the month. And maybe a shake of hands with my manager
Always treat customers the same way each time. Professional, with respect, without judgement. All are human. This is a good reminder for me as well. I slip at times.
I worked at a country club. My first day this couple came and sat down. I went to take their order. They were dressed nice and conservative but nothing expensive. Just down to earth people..they were my first table. They made me sit with them and asked questions about me and my life. Such nice folks. At the end i found out it was Roger Staubach the orginal cowboys quarterback and the year before this he sold his real estate company for close to a billion dollars. Id never know he had some fame and a helluva lot of money by looking at them.. and especially not to how nice they were with strangers. Gave me hope for humanity.
I walked into a high end furniture store back in 1990 to buy 2 lamps as a surprise for my wife. These lamps were $700.00 each. I sat in a chair right next to these lamps. Nobody ever said hello. After 2 hours of sitting there I left. On Monday morning I called the manufacturer and told them my story. They sold me the lamps at factory direct pricing and shipped them right to my house. I had them in less than a week.
@12349Nitin right?? Dude sits awkwardly in a chair by some lamps for 2 hours.... ya I'm not approaching that weirdo either. He has to much time on his hands, and not enough to lose.
We went to an Acura dealership looking to buy a gift for my daughter.. the saleswoman didn’t know that. She would not even look to help us… bought my daughter her dream car from another dealership. Never judge a book by its movie.
first: the problem here is "she" not "he". two: because of number 1 rule(attitude), and her skill at sale is lacking. if the Girl become saleswoman, 90% of them are Boss sugar BB, they don't need skill.. =))they just need 1 skill, that is BJ
I was buying a new pick up truck in ninety four. Little guy in overalls and a t shirt showed up barefooted, Five salesman were around a table looking at stock market info. I told the salesman waiting on me. Go tell him you'll be with him when you're through with me. When I was transferring my belongings to the new truck, he greeted the man and shook hands and the man said I will take the red Dodge pick up my wife wants the new Yorker over there and my daughter. Wants the Convertible on the showroom floor. The salesman said. Well, let's go in and call the bank. We can arrange financing. This guy pulled the a wad of hundreds out of his pocket. That would choke a horse. The look on his face was priceless. Edit I really didn't think any one would believe me. Thank you for the 37 likes.
Heard stories like this. I think there was 1 where a guy turned up in ripped jeans and overall unkempt appearance. Salesmen didn't want to deal with him so they gave him to the new guy. That guy was Alice Cooper. He bought several cars and they weren't cheap ones either.
You are up to 90 now. A friend of mine did something like this. He wanted a 740iL BMW and went into the showroom in dirty JNCO jeans and a dirty tank top. Everyone ignored him until he pulled out a can of spray paint and wrote “Mine” on the hood. Of course they lost their minds until he started pulling out cash. Then it was all “yes sir”. He was inspired by Waylon Jennings having done similar, but Waylon was pulling his money out of his wife’s bra.
@@adamr9215 Went to a Dodge dealership after I got off. Work from my tire shop one today. I'm pretty sure I defined the word dirty. Waited outside the showroom, while all the salesmen were sitting at a table around the some girl doing their homework. Wait at about 810 minutes. Turned around to my truck. Got my cash out of it. Stuck it in my hand and then flipped it over. While they were watching and then got in and drove off. 20 years later, I was telling one of my customers while I was fixing her flat about it. And she said, I was the girl sitting at the table doing my homework. And I remember you doing that. She said the look on their face was awesome.
This is extremely accurate and happened when I bought my first six figure car back in 2007-- I dressed very simply like I always do and none of the sales idiots ventured to approach me for almost 40 minutes. Young lady that finally approached me just started a couple weeks prior and had just returned from lunch. I ordered my car, made sure she got a fantastic commission, then called for the manager-- let's just say he was still apologizing months afterwards.
@@altingashi3927 Yeah, these bullshit stories made up for RUclips comment clout are some of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. Statistically, the people in this particular thread are very likely to make less than $30k a year. Too many saying they bought $100k when the statistics are heavily against your bullshit lie, lol.
Sold a 4.2m property site to a guy with ripped shorts and filthy clothes. Turns out he was worth over 200m in the end. My colleague was treating him like shit didn't want to let him in, and boom I sold it for a record seller was stoked. Had another one where the buyer inherited 7m from his mother's death and went to numerous agencies for help no one did came into ours we sold him almost our entire stockpile within 3 days. All cash. Never assume anything about anyone and be kind, it's a fucking hard world for everyone.
When I turned 18 I had saved money for my dream car and finally found one at a local used car lot. It was a 1976 Jaguar XJ12 Coupe. I approached the salesman and he told me he would show me the car when I came back with my parents. I showed him the cash, turned around and walked out. Best decision I ever made, that car was a piece of crap, haha.
18 year old Friend of mine wanted to test drive a brand new Gremlin. The salesman told him to hop on his peddle bike and come back when he’s old enough. He pulled his giant wad of cash out of his pocket, (he’d been saving for years) fanned it out and let the guy know he’d just lost a sale. Turned around and went elsewhere.
I remember when a close friend went to Subaru dealership with his wife. They are from India. They stood around checking out the 2009 Subaru Legacy for about 45 minutes. The entire sales team ignored them. At 2pm a young African American gentleman runs in, apologizes for being late for work to his team and sees them. He walks over and tends to the couple who end up buying 2 New Legacy’s. One of them were the GT. The look on the faces of those who ignored……..
Strange. I'm West Indian, born in the UK. I went to a Subaru dealership here in the UK, walked around and got into a WRX, was there like 20 minutes, staff just kept playing minesweeper. The local Skoda dealership gave me the keys to test drive, alone, the then top spec Skoda vRS (Golf GTi derivative), I bought that a week later, had another one, since.
@@sixman9 The OP’s story is pretty commonplace here in the states. Salespeople of this order work solely on commission, so they see it as a waste of time to talk to anyone who isn’t dripping. The thinly veiled racism is everywhere, but Americans seem to be gunning for the number one spot there; I digress…if these snooty salespeople knew anything about the human condition as it relates to wealth and the sales profession, they would know that one should NEVER judge a book by its cover. That’s how one is guaranteed to lose money. In the sales game, every penny counts, you know?
To be honest, going to work (in my head) means that you’re there to work. Picking up and adapting such poor habits that supposedly makes you cool and all knowing, is dumb. As you not only miss out on improving on self…….but *real connections go way beyond benefitting of a financial kind. As Life is filled with all kinds of people, capable of all kinds of things. Most that like to act like this and that, really be swearing that they’re exclusive and someone that everyone wants to know.
Very true. I have often noticed, if you know the right thing to say to somebody, there is unlimited potential. People never understand the opportunities they have.
Its been almost 25 years and ill never forget this lesson and still tell story to people. Fresh out of High School at 18 I started what turned into a 15 yr job installing high end custom cabinetry. In the 1st month working I we were on a job in a Fly-in community with most houses having a aircraft hanger and taxiway to runway. After a few days there the woman said that her husband just finalized the purchase of his new aircraft and will be flying it from Michigan back to Florida and will be here tomorrow for yall to meet. The next morning unloading the tools you can see in the hanger not a small Piper or Cessna, but a Learjet that to me at the time looked like a flying Lamborghini! It was beautiful, it was incredible, a piece of aviation artwork. Of course I'm expecting to see a man dressed from the neck down in like an Armani suit or someone crazy in shape and tan with an expensive watch on his wrist... But no... the guy with the super model wife and the father of 2 well spoken and mannered 5 year olds twins looked like a out of shape bald t.v. repair man. He had on old beat up matching gray sweatpants and undersized sweatshirt. Rounded indoor/outdoor eyeglasses that stayed black. Wearing 10 year old NB shoes that a thrift shop would trash. Honestly you would walk past this man at Walmart and have no clue he had 20 million in the bank... To this day I have never based their financial standings or judged someone just from what I see or how they look...!
We shouldn't judge people by their wealth, social status, job, position etc. A person should be measured according to their morals, character, integrity and work ethic.
20 million is not really private jet money, well maybe if his company wants him to have one. My former boss lives on an island with a runway, he basically only leaves it when other companies want him to and they send a plane. He does not own one 😅
I once sold well over $50k in specific luxury products to a dude wearing worm out work clothes, that rolled up to my store in a beat up, rusty Honda. Turned out he owned a chain of hotels and wanted to buy one for every one of his employees for christmas. My boss tried kicking him out of the store *during* the sale. I was furious. Corporate ended up getting involved. A coworker sold a similar amount to a woman that my boss thought was "the new cleaning lady."
I worked in sales a while back. I treated every customer like they were a celebrity. Nothing over the top, just courtesy. They sent the regional manager after I was there for a month because of a sales "error." Because I was a sales trainee, I had to ring things up under the "house" account. Apparently, the house had the highest numbers in the district that month. Treat your customers like they matter, and you will open their wallets through their hearts.
Just to clarify cause I'm slow, there was no error, they thought it was an error due to the increase in business you brought in? Did I follow that right?
My dad used to always tell the story of a guy who came to the car dealership on a bike with a backpack, and everybody ignored him except my dad, come to find out the backpack was full of money and my dad got a huge bonus.
My grandfather was a dairy farmer and one of the richest men I knew. At any time you saw him would be wearing old jeans and a blue shirt. He must have had 10 of those shirts. He always looked like He hadn't shaved in a week. Looking at him, you would never believe he had at least $40,000 in his shirt pocket. He was always going to the stock auctions and buying and selling cows.
I watched old cattlemen meet at the cattle auction to get away from their wives and laugh with their friends. Those guys bought 100 head at a time and one bought each of his 5 kids a new house. These guys wore old bibs and bought all my cows cause they were gentle. That's money. Never think an old cow man don't have money, you'll be shocked
Very true. I worked in furniture and there was this customer that came in wearing sweats and no one greeted him when they were all in the front. Well, I decided to greet him like any buying customer. He ended up buying 9k worth of furniture and kept coming back asking for me everytime he needed something. He even confronted the manager about how it was messed up no one greeted him when he came in and made them look foolish. I hope that man is doing well.
Wealth is best when it is quiet. I'm retired from a 30 year career in the car business - I had many such sales from customers that other sales people dismissed. One of my sales beliefs was the importance of getting absolutely everyone behind the wheel for a test drive. I would ask them to drive it to their house or business if it was nearby - to see how it fit in their parking space, and to show it to their family or friends or coworkers.
There is a lot of valuable meaning behind the saying “make your money in the dark”. Obnoxious, flashy, in your face wealth, draws far more attention from the wrong type of people.
I did car sales for a little while and people do judge, one day this guy came in with tennis shoes, basketball shorts, white T-shirt and a hat. Guess people did take him seriously, he had 20k in his pocket and was trading in his car for the new hellcat that just dropped off the showroom floor lol. He made over 200k a year in the film industry. Never judge a book by the cover
My friends auntie works as Fendi sales. She talked and served a random woman whom every other sales ignored. Few years later, the customer had upgraded to Fendi's VVVIP and only buys from her.
I sold TVs and audio equipment for a few years a while ago. One day, a guy wearing ratty clothes came into the store, and all of my coworkers completely ignored him. Turns out he was a contractor building a man cave for a wealthy client, and it ended up being the biggest sale of my life. Never judge a prospective client by their looks - you never know who's got a wad of cash burning a hole in their pocket.
I worked in the stereo depth of an electronics store back in the 90's. A guy came looking like the wrestler hillbilly Jim. Really tall, red shirt, overalls, huge shaggy black beard and wild curley hair. He came in, I greeted him for entering my department. He said nobody would wait on him. He bought a stereo with our most expensive speakers, a big screen tv, and a vcr as well. When I was getting the stock on these items, other salesmen approacheh him and he waved them away saying that I was the ONLY person he would deal with. I got a good commission on that one. Funny thing was that our training told us to not pre-qualify the customers, and I was still new there.
A friend’s older brother wanted a new car. He could afford a BMW 5 series, so we went to a BMW dealer. It was around July, in Houston, and that day was scorching. We all had on shorts and t-shirts, and after looking at a couple of cars, we noticed that all the salesmen were just standing around talking. We left to go to another dealership, but on the way we spotted a Lamborghini dealership. Just to see what would happen, we stopped in. As soon as stepped in, we were immediately greeted, and treated like we were going to buy.
The show is White Collar, and he’s actually not a new salesmen - he pretended to be to gain access to the point of sale system, in order to access the gps logs of one of the vehicles.
While not being a Lambo, I can confirm that some years ago, I was ignored at a Mercedes dealer while I was looking for an E-Class, despite having called before for a test drive that day. I left and went to another dealer. Weeks later, I was called and asked how my test drive was. I told that I was ignored for half an hour and left for another dealer. They apologized and asked what they could do. I said "never call me again." It happens quite often.
No it’s a defense mechanism to keep predators away. Dressing like a middle class guy when you have 200m in assets is for protection without needing to pay bodyguards.
I sold my first car to a teacher that no one wanted to help cause she was "just looking" and i ended up spotting her, the look on everyones face was great
Worked in sales in scrap and waste management industry for years. Some of my best customers who buy from me for 200k-1mil per year always come in work clothes or hoodies and sweatpants wearing crocs. Mind you they have tens or hundreds of employees and are literally milloonares by any definition. They never want fancy dinners or gifts, they rather have a lunch at a reasonably priced place and a cup of coffee, because they are just not about that life.
@@JSmellerM You could live pay check to pay check and still drive a brand new Lambo. as long as you made enough money to cover the repayments, you can basically be broke and still afford to buy and drive one.
@@JSmellerMi know a small youtuber, he's loaded, just doing youtube for fun, he went to a Lexus dealership to buy a new ES250 and all the saleperson looked down on him, refused to give him a test drive, so he went and bought a 2nd 2021 ES250, he went on social media and flame the shit out of that dealership and shitting on that ES250, he sold his Macan before getting that ES250, and he just sold that ES a few month ago for a 2022 Audi A7, man has atleast 5 cars on his driveway lol
@@JSmellerM Maybe most times but it only takes one time for it to be the real deal. By the way, no matter what type of car or model most people are just looking.
He literally rolled in and did this in a few minutes. Was never actually hired, did it as a way to get info off one of the computers and stunt on the other Sales guys in the process. Awesome scene.
I've sold a lot of private jets. I've lived this scene several times, and that salesman would get a job with me, it is exactly how to be professional in very high value sales.
My Uncle was a Multi-Millionaire In Construction, And Always Wore Clean Work Clothes. He Went To a Mercedes Benz Dealer, Ready To Buy, And Was Totally Ignored!
It happened to me once when I was shopping for a suit with my mom while wearing just flip flops and jeans. I was going to try on one of the suits when the salesman stopped me and said, "This is a very expensive suit." He then proceeded to show me a lower-end suit, believing I wouldn't be able to afford it. I ended up buying the suit right in front of his eyes and never returned to the showroom again. The showroom has shutdown after a year.
Don't do that. You still give them commission. In fact there is a sales tactics called "ego baiting" to bait people like you into buying. Leave your pride behind and just walk away to another store. They don't deserve getting commission from you.
I bought my 1st new car in a slightly torn T-shirt collar & shorts. (No BS) after playing basketball, went to the dealership and Not 1 salesperson looked my way, except an OG, who approached me and asked me, anything you like? I said yes, this 2021 Honda accord. I put down $8,000 and drove home in my new Accord. Great car!
Similar story a friend of mines uncle owned alot of high end italian restaurants. He trained all the chefs with his great grandmas recipes. He had tomato sauce all over his shirt one day when he went to the lambo dealership... They paid him no mind, so he ended up buying a ferrari bc he said they treated him like a human.
I worked at a chevy dealer, and the GM told me a farmer all dirty wearing overalls came in and she was mad that no one went over to talk to him. She went over and later sold him 2 trucks in cash. Turns out he had enough money to buy the dealership.
Sold a 2 million dollar house to a man in muddy boots and torn up jeans. Was doing a home inspection for a potential buyer and thought the guy was initially a tradesmen, but he watched how closely i inspected everything and started asking me questions. Then he informed me he was the buyer I was inspecting for, and I was as good as they claimed. He didn't even mind I was a sarcastic twat that was laughing at the work done and somehow passed by a different inspector. My inspection notes was pages long. Guy was able to knock almost 700k of purchase by having to force seller to replace or repair the manjor and minor defects. Talk to the quiet ones the observers. They usually have money and desire. But dont tell people
I tried car sales as a 21yr old and hated it because I couldn’t conform to the car salesman bullshit! I don’t like screwing people over. Thing is, during my year as a salesman I crushed every other salesman because of my honesty and “rebellious” ways of selling. My first day actually on the floor, I sold 3 cars and took a trade-in to one guy for his 2 18yr old kids and himself. I had the highest gross profit ever at that dealer for a single sale on my first real day. I crushed it and made 6 figures my first year but left because I hated the atmosphere and the gross people dealerships attract. I went and started my own business using what I learned and never looked back! I’m now 35🤙🏼💪🏼🤘🏼
I worked in a camera shop when I was younger. 2 young aboriginal kids came in and the owner chased them out. I saw them hanging around the enterance and went and started chatting to them. They had come down from up north and had been sent out to get a camera for holiday snaps. My manager saw them pull out 3x $100 bills and point at a polaroid camera. My first day, my first sale.
I remember I wanted to buy 2 Toyota tundra(platinum). I asked my wife let’s go test drive one. I just got off work. We drove down to the dealership. I told them I wanted to buy 2 tundras. Can I test drive it? They refuse to let me test drive. Because I had on work clothes. I do construction for a living. I got offended and drove over to ford. The moment I walked through the door. The fleet manager walked up to me and showed me their top f150. At the time it was $100k truck. She asked me if I wanted to test drive it? She told the general manager to get me keys. He asked me for my drivers license and was hesitant. The fleet manager stopped him and said no need. She gave my wife the keys. I asked her how do you know I can afford this truck? She said I recognize a contractor. All I deal with are contractors. We bought the truck and paid it off in 3 years. Not everyone with money wears suits. Most of us like to look poor😏
True story, as told to me by one of his good friends. Former very successful motorcycle racer wanted a new Viper at the time (90s). Drove up to the first Dodge dealership in a tanktop and shorts (clothing judgment, but that's how he dressed back then: poor country boy from the South before he made it big). Nobody would help him, so he went in to the showroom floor and yelled 'Is anybody gonna f'ing help me?' Salesmen told him to leave because he couldn't afford anything. He got pissed and went to the next Dodge dealership down the road. Walked in and said 'I want a Viper and I've got cash.' He told them the story of the first dealership, and then they realized who he was (local celebrity and hero), and were more than happy to sell it to him. He then returned to the first dealership in his new Viper. Walked in to the showroom and said 'F*** y'all. Y'all missed out', and burned rubber out of the dealership. Moral: NEVER judge a book by its cover.
By selling for years luxury items i learned that you should always treat all customers as high payers. The ones that had more money were more trouble, the ones with less money bought constantly and without questions. Everyone treating them bad or rejecting them makes them appreciate someone treating them with dignity and that feeling is priceless.
Years ago I wanted the new Trans Am (the last model they made, but we didn’t know at the time), I entered the dealership with cash to buy a full optional ram air etc. I had to wait hours because all the salesperson were having coffee and chatting. Finally one of them asked me and I said: this black Trans Am. He said I wasn’t the type for that car and I could have an old red v6 instead. Probably because I’m a college teacher and I don’t look like a quarterback. In the end I crossed the street and bought a Mustang.
@@kevboy7770, even if he wasn’t he made the guy feel like someone is paying attention. My buddy who was the epitome of a salesman could sell popsicles to Eskimos once told me at his cellphone business, “they come through the door looking for a phone. Our goal is to have them leave with a phone.” They always left with a phone.
I grew up in Palm Beach County (Lake Clarke Shores, Palm Springs, & West Palm Beach, Florida). I learned this lesson as a young man. One of the riches men in the area (in real estate) wore new odd looking polo shirts, old torn jeans or slacks and worn out boat deck shoes (with a ratty straw hat). This man owned a huge amount of land throughout Plam Beach County.
One of my dads first sales was a 2003 50th anniversary C5. Went for like $60k at the time. Guy came in wearing a fishing shirt and waders. Everyone but my dad ignored him. Came in the next day with a suit and cash. Sold.
I used to work for a multi millionaire who still came to work most days, worked alot weekends and would fling overalls on and get tools back out all the time to help the boys out, he could have retired and let the engineering business run its self comfortably, i bumped into him at an audi garage a few years after i left the company, he had old shoes on, an old Pringle sweater and boot cut jeans and his hair was untidy. He was totally ignored and I could see the sales stairing at him at times as if to say whats this older guy doing. He was about 61 by this point... I was offered coffee, tea and some cake within mins of looking at the cars. I was looking at the used section and was instantly approached and pushed to spend way over my budget by some slime ball that day but didnt end up buying. He had been looking at an sq8 and a brand new q7 in the premium section for his younger wife and kids. He ended up buying an rsq8 at another dealership.
When i was 12 i drove past a supercar dealer with my mom and i saw my dream car (ferari 812 superfast) and we decided to go look at it since i never seen a supercar in real life, the owner of the shop comes up to us and asks if i want to start it and rev it as a pretty shy kid i only started it but after 6 years its still my dream to own that car, what an amazing feeling
i swear i did this in February this year when i went to a Mercedes dealership to checkout a used 2022 challenger scat pack they had. i was there for a while, and all the old salesmen were ignoring me and not even bothered when i walked by them. A young salesman approached me and brought the keys without me asking if i can do a test drive lol. needless to say, I bought the car.
I had the exact same experience buying a fully loaded Mustang GT when I was 24. Nobody wanted to help me test drive it until they finally sent a new salesman to help. I’m sure he got great commission that day.
My husband walked into a Benz dealership in 2016 on a fact-finding mission to figure out which model would suit us best. Picture a middle-aged dude coming in wearing basketball shorts, old running shoes and a plain t-shirt. All the seasoned salespeople completely ignored him. The young guy came over and treated my husband with genuine respect. I went back with my husband a few days later and when the seasoned guys saw me with my husband, they realized their negative judgment had come back to bite them in the butt. Any car salesperson worth his salt knows that when a man shows up again, this time with his wife, a sale is happening. We left that day with a new Benz. It was a very satisfying moment to see those sales guys staring at us on our way out. After that, we refused to deal with anyone except the young guy.
Perfect example of never judging a person by their appearance. Everyone should be treated with respect and curtesy. I learned this concept a long time ago especially when your in the sales force. Thank you for sharing.
Here's a note of wisdom from a 50 year old broad that was in outside sales for the car industry for over a decade: NEVER, EVER JUDGE A CUSTOMER BY HOW THEY LOOK!!!!! I personally watched a farmer come in from the fields to buy his wife a GMC Yukon Denali XL for Valentines Day!! He was still in his "work truck" & overalls. Dirt & dust all over him. The biggest dig was that he paid CASH!! But everyone at the dealership knew him already & most customers in that town were farmers for Riceland. And an extra piece of knowledge, Riceland in Stuttgart, Arkansas is the WORLD'S largest rice producer!!! But really, the truly wealthy don't blow their money on a ton of high-end, name brand things. They typically save their money, hence why they have enough to spend on what they REALLY want!!
I used to work retail (music instrument store), this happens all the time. One of my best spending customers was a guy who would show up in sweats and a ratty tshirt. Turns out, he was a divorce lawyer. Would come in an buy at least 1 high end guitar a month.
You can always tell the difference between old money and new money. Most new money rich folks will be gaudy and like to show their wealth off but people of older money and hard earned money are usually like this guy and have manners and class and just want to be treated like the average joe. My dad has taught me and my sister that if you are somewhere that is known for elegance and money don't act like you've never been there or could never see yourself there and look stargazed, just be well mannered and be humble and treat others with respect and kindness and you'll be surprised by the people you meet and conversations you'll have. My family by no means have major money like this but my sister and I grew up comfortable and clothed and never wanted for anything but we stay grateful and humble in everything we do. Don't discriminate people just because the way they dress or look or anything. Money isn't a permanent factor and just because someone is rich doesn't mean they're going to look a certain way.
I remember my dad took me and my brother to a housing complex to buy a house. We drove there with motorcycle, Yamaha Vega. Yes it is an old motorcycle and all of salesperson of the housing complex looked down on us. When we about to leave my dad showed his card and said to the salesperson "i can buy a house right here and right now but it seems that you disrespect us, you miss your chance. Have a nice day". Well we ended up bought my grandpa's house and renovated the house
So you think that some random person leaving a viewing and saying "i can buy a house right here and right now but it seems that you disrespect us, you miss your chance. Have a nice day" is proof of anything?! lmao! Anyone could literally do that and they dont have money at all. Saying you dissed me blabla doesnt make the salespeople respect you, they would just think you are a moron. Imagine thinking giving someone your business card helps at all, haha!
@@lillerosin2915 why so salty lmao. It's not 100% exact word, it's almost 20 years ago. My dad really has the money to buy the house and we were looking for one. But this one sales really disrespected us just because we used an old motorcycle. Other sales in other housing complexes didn't look at us up and down to mock us. They still did their job with a smile, if they want to mock behind us we don't care, but not in front of us. I thought the sales job is to make us want to buy their products not looking down at their customer
Also my dad did that cuz he was so pissed at the sales for looking down at us like that. He had never done that before, it's just he was so pissed so he showed them that he would buy the house if he wanted to
I remember walking on a car lot for over an hour being ignored by all the sales people. I finally walked in with my wife and asked for the owner. When he arrived I made sure to pull out my 10k in cash and let him know that he did not lose a sale that day but a customer for life. I later learned he fired all the sales people immediately after I left.
As a former NYC salesperson, this is accurate. I sold my first diamond watch to a woman in sweats that my coworkers were ignoring.
I feel this on the other side of the transaction haha. I’m a dancer and I spend most of my time in sweats or something comfy when I’m not working, but I still make big purchases from time to time! A lot of the time salespeople are uninterested in helping me, probably because I’m so dressed down.
It's a cliche story, but it happens so often I'm amazed this kind of story isn't universally-known.
@@emilyfines4216 I was amazed that my coworkers didn't learn not to make assumptions even after I broke yearly sales records and got promoted. I greeted and helped everyone, it isn't difficult just to be kind. Some people stand fast to their internal judgement systems no matter what alternative proof presents itself to them.
Real rich people have nothing to prove, they dress comfortably
bought my first Rolex in a pair of Jordan slides and gym shorts.
My dad was a car salesman most of his life. And would tell me stories like this. He always treated customers the same no matter what they were dressed like.
Respect I recently bought a Lamborghini engine and put it in my car. People treated me poorly because I’m not wearing the new stuff but they gave the commission to the new guy and the other guys got jealous because they’ve been there many years. I just laughed at them.
I bet your dad did very well out of that. My former boss got the cold shoulder treatment from one car dealer when he was looking to replace the company fleet of utes and land cruisers. After 45 minutes of waiting he asked to see the manager. Should him his bank account with enough to buy them all then walked out. Haha
Because, that's what honest people do.
Just be honest to yourself.

Anything surrounding Lamborghini the brand and the man who founded the company is about recognising humanity. I watched on the Lamborghini movie when he said "You don't have to be shy to drive a Lamborghini. You buy a Ferrari when you want to be someone. You buy a Lamborghini when you're someone." I guess based on the Ferrucio was judged by Enzo when he was a farmer making tractors is the reason you don't have to judge anyone who walks into a Lamborghini showroom because anyone can drive a Lamborghini unlike Ferraris where you have to be invited to buy one. Crazy.....

I was only 21 and in college when the GM of Toyota dealership hired me. I was his test crash dummy as he was trying something new with me as being young and lacking the salesman attitude and pushy sales, he wanted to give his customers the non stealership pressure sales experiences with a guy like myself. This was during the dot comer days and I was in the heart of the silicon valley. Since I was new, I had my learning curve so I practiced with basically anybody and even got scolded by other sales guy as I was talking it up with their customers. Lol
Long story short, it was around lunch time and a guy in shirts n sandals came into the floor. Other sales guys would just ignored him because in car sales, we called them jack as jack will waste your time and will not buy anything. They would push all them jacks to me, the new guy. Turns out, this guy was an executive of a tech company and he was buying 10 vehicles as a bonus package for his new hires. I became a dangerous sales guy thereafter and I took my selling skills to other industries and excel in those industries as well. Thank you GM Michael from Stevens Creek Toyota in San jose for believing in me.

Yo I earn almost half a million right now but don't believe in buying crazy clothing brands and stuff, use my phone for at least 2 to 3 years and like to use public transport and bike. I dress appropriately as per latest fashion but never lavishly.
It is appalling the treatments I get when in a luxury shop if I want to buy a gift for a loved one. At this point I don't find this treatment as an insult but rather a filter to keep bad people out.
This also keeps the social circle smaller but a stronger one.
You all know this is scripted right? People would believe anything nowadays
Every new car I’ve ever purchased, I wore the dumpiest work clothes I own into the dealership. Gets you the right salesmanship every time.
Can confirm. And not just car, but mattress purchases as well.
My wife and I bought a new car years ago. One dealer ignored her as she looked around so I said, let's go, and we went down the road and bought. Then I took it back to the 1st dealer and asked to see the owner who was on site. You could have sold this but these punks ignored her. Just thought you'd like to know. He fired 2 salesmen in front of her and apologized.

Worked with farmers all my life. Several years ago a client drive a white completely baseline Ford 150. No radio, black floormats, no carpet, standard transmission. Not an option in sight. He always had me fill out his check before he signed it. Always said that he forgot his glasses. Actually, he couldn't read or write, but he was worth over $250 million. He used to own a ton of land that was sold to developers but still liked to do his own work. Nobody ever knew that he was wealthy. He only wore dirty coveralls. Really nice guy.

Reminds me of my friends real estate agent mom telling a story of going to a planning board meeting in my town. This is in NJ. She was apalled almost everyone on the planning board were in overalls/coveralls/flannel. I said "yep, they probably parked their tractors and went right to the meeting. Every one of them owns over 400acres, probably half of them went to old money private high schools, have college degrees and generational wealth."

He is an actor guys. Don’t get all excited so that u jizz all over yourselves.
lol this scene is from the TV show White Collar. "Nick Halden" is a career conman. He wasn't an employee. Rebecca was his mark that episode because he needed her boyfriend's information. The sale was part of an elaborate plan to get into her computer. It's a convoluted episode and the character does have a kind of integrity, but it's not as simple as the scene makes it seem

@@jpl8878ah i see. One of the reasons i hate short form content Lol. So much context was taken out that i too thought along the lines of what the OP said.
Always remember, "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
That would be a good message if this wasn't an example of him using a guy they ignore to get all the information he needed. Rebecca wasn't a friend of his she was protecting someone he was looking for. He's a conman and cooperating informant for an FBI team not a new salesman.
@@marcning918It's never a good message. All it's saying is not to have anybody in your life that you can't use for something and to treat the ones that you can't use the same way. That is not a good way to live life
@@chrisconaway2549 I don't think you understood the first point. It means if you want to know someone's true character pay attention to how he treats people who can in no way help them meet their goals. If they treat everyone with the same amount of respect or not. My comment was more pointing out that people missed the context based on how little of the story is presented here. This was not an example of someone treating someone with the same level of respect as everyone else. It was an example of him using the failure of the staff to do so to get information he needed for his own purposes. He's a convicted con man and forger turned FBI informant who needed information about a man the woman he mentioned was hiding. He got that information by pretending to be a new hire working with her and getting a sale that required the salesman to let him in their computer system. Context the video leaves out because you don't see any of the setup. So people see the video as an example of treating someone with respect can get you things others miss instead of what's actually going on.

A friend’s dad did this too. He grew up as a fisherman, a shrimper to be exact. He owned a fleet of boats and went looking for a new car for his wife. He looked at the Lincolns first and was ignored so he went to the local GM dealership and was treated with respect and paid cash for a new Cadillac. I grew up with men like him, some of the richest men drove old trucks and wore work clothes. They were very down to earth.
That guy must have million friends because that's like 10th time I've heard that story over the years. Just like that lady that was charged $250 for the Nieman Marcus cookie recipe.
Another popular variation of the story is a shabbily dressed guy pulling his millions of dollars out of the bank after being treated poorly and taking it to the bank accross the street.
It's a parable about how you should treat people that is about as old as civilization.
Down to earth because he know what hard work is!

I have a friend who sells harvesting equipment. Also at trade fairs. He once sold a harvester worth 1.2 million each in cash at a trade fair to a farmer with holes in his pants and an old leather suitcase full of money.
He had seen him at the competition trying to draw attention to himself. After 10 minutes the farmer was grim and was stomping away angrily. He addressed him with "You look like someone who knows what he wants and I'm someone who would like to know what it is"
yo, he got salesman rizz.
I always find it funny how some people underestimate farmers, if someone can afford buying a 2.5mil worth peace of equipment they can also afford to buy a luxurious car, most of them tho chose not to, because in their terrain the car whould not do well so they drive a 15 year old jeep because of how reliable some old cars are

Facts. One of the first guys I met in car sales came in regular clothes, down to earth kind of guy and noticed he had a Rolex on, became friends and found out he owns a mansion in SoCal and gets a new luxury vehicle about every year (Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc) pays cash for all his vehicles. Also had a guy and his wife come in, plain clothes looking at a C7 Z06 when they were brand new for about 120k. Their combined income was around 250k and owned several rentals. Had another guy come in a wife beater that was stained with sweat and torn jeans, paid cash for a vehicle. On the other hand I've also had a guy come in with a suit and couldn't finance anything because he owed the government around a million dollars.
Long ago worked in a dealership as Salesman. Guy came in with an old F350 wearing a ripped dirty jacket and dirty work boots. He was buying a cheap used car for his daughter no one wanted him. Turns out he was a owner of a construction company.
I sold him a car for his daughter and hardly made any commission and other laughed cause I wasted 4 hrs with him. He came the next week and traded his truck in for a new truck and upgraded his entire fleet. I sold him 24 trucks and one brand new SUV for his wife that day. That commission check was the biggest check I ever had.
His jacket was torn and shoes dirty because his truck was stuck in the mud, so he came in a fleet truck.
Edit: Commission check was around $17k for that week, which included front end and back end. The fleet vehicles used in construction costs around $80k minimum. Only 2 F450s had factory bed the rest were either F450 or F550 chassis cab with various options like hydraulic dump, flat bed, fifth wheel attachment, etc. Every single one was a 4x4 diesel. His wife got a limited expedition which at that time was around $75k. Buying business vehicles can be used as a tax write off.

I've heard this story many times before, I'm sure it's from a movie
rich and wealthy people dont dress to look rich but dress to be comfortable
Rich people do.
Wealthy people don't.
I worked with a guy who owns over 150 car carriers and was a preferred carrier for one of the big 3
I was talking to him once, he goes "I just got back from Texas for my high-school reunion, can you believe my old buddy is rich now?"
I'm like dude wtf you're fucking loaded, he goes "No I'm not"
He legit doesn't see himself as rich or wealthy, and 90% of his trucks are paid off but he's only got about 80% of them running because drivers are hard to get nowadays.
He treats the drivers well also, pays decent and puts them in a hotel every night no sleeper cabs, and if he needs extra work he'll pay out the ass for it instead of just regular OT or a couple extra bucks.
It’s out of respect for others, private equity’s entrance to men’s fashion created the stigma of discomfort by cheapening out on fabrics and employees who couldn’t use a tape; releasing tailors in favor of sold inseams, and the destruction of retail.
My brother is an extremely competent driver. Is it possible to exchange information?@@MarvinHeemeyer-tg1kt
No. Rich people buy expensive things that aren’t necessarily comfortable.
That stands from a view that ignores a whole economy of luxury.
“Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.”

When I was 17 I was at a Ferrari dealership and asked if I could take pictures of the cars. The sales team said yea sure have fun, later I asked why they were so friendly and nice and they said “you could’ve been a rock star and bought one and made our day, but it was fun watching a kid having fun too.”
In Texas you never ignore customers. My grandpa was a multimillionaire and wore overalls with no shirt underneath but always carried around $10k cash in his front pouch pocket in case he ever came across a deal on something he could turn around and sell for a profit
Yea right buddy

My dad drove truck for a living. The owner of a company he worked for went to a truck show to buy some new trucks. He only ever wore work shorts and a navy singlet. So he turns up at the Mack stand to look at their new trucks( He was Mack through and through) but when he got there nobody would talk to him cos he looked like he didn’t have 2bob to his name. So he went over to Kenworth and bought 10 brand new trucks.
My Dad did the same thing
That Owner is the Final Boss of truckers
Smart move. Kenworth are the best rigs money can buy.
Its your job as a salesman to know your customers. This guy if he had already some truck should be invited to the fair an known by the salesman.

"You can wear whatever you like in Gallardo" the best Sales Line i ever heard if there's one.. he immediately sold it.
I sold used cars for like 6 months. One rainy day we had a family roll on the lot in this falling apart minivan. There were a few other sales guys there but nobody wanted to walk out and talk to them, “nobody buys a car on a rainy day” is what they told me. The dad bought the most expensive truck we had on the lot, the mom got a new (to her) minivan and they bought a car for their daughter. That was a good week lol
It's always good to make 1/3 of your monthly goal in a day 😂

They must've just won the lottery lol.
Damn, they either won the lottery or a wealthy family member kicked the bucket.
My dad once told me, not all people are poor, some poor people come to buy their big dream one day in their poor style.
Or you can say some rich people don't care how they look
I had a salesman that sold me two vehicles back to back. We had a good relationship. While we were waiting for my second vehicle he sold me to get detailed he told me a story similar to this involving what they thought was some poor trailer type person. No other salesman wanted to touch her with a 10ft pole. Well long story short, he talked with her and took her around the lot to find a car that suited her. She ended up choosing some economy car because she’s never owned a car before. When he went to see about her finances she told him she would pay cash for the car. She showed him her bank account to get the ball rolling and he said he almost passed out. The woman’s mom had passed away and left her a $1 million dollar life insurance policy. He said never judge a book by its cover. He also was able to get salesman of the year by one car because of it.
I like this video. That new salesman is brilliant and his equal treatment of everyone will take him far!

I once a Salesman selling IT stuffs and there is 1 guy looking for a laptop but all of my colleagues ignored him because he is wearing a basic Tshirt with a slipper. I attended to him once settled with current cust and he bought the most expensive Macbook Pro. Then during the payment he told me that, he did not need this powerful laptop but because of how nice I treated him, he bought it for my commission.
And then everyone clapped.
@@darkness2061yeah I worked in IT stuff, I’ve sold so many laptops and with often the job’s warranty, which was way overpriced, and bits of my soul with it.

Always treat customers the same way each time. Professional, with respect, without judgement. All are human. This is a good reminder for me as well. I slip at times.
I worked at a country club. My first day this couple came and sat down. I went to take their order. They were dressed nice and conservative but nothing expensive. Just down to earth people..they were my first table. They made me sit with them and asked questions about me and my life. Such nice folks. At the end i found out it was Roger Staubach the orginal cowboys quarterback and the year before this he sold his real estate company for close to a billion dollars. Id never know he had some fame and a helluva lot of money by looking at them.. and especially not to how nice they were with strangers. Gave me hope for humanity.

I walked into a high end furniture store back in 1990 to buy 2 lamps as a surprise for my wife. These lamps were $700.00 each. I sat in a chair right next to these lamps. Nobody ever said hello. After 2 hours of sitting there I left. On Monday morning I called the manufacturer and told them my story. They sold me the lamps at factory direct pricing and shipped them right to my house.

I was buying a new pick up truck in ninety four. Little guy in overalls and a t shirt showed up barefooted, Five salesman were around a table looking at stock market info. I told the salesman waiting on me. Go tell him you'll be with him when you're through with me. When I was transferring my belongings to the new truck, he greeted the man and shook hands and the man said I will take the red Dodge pick up my wife wants the new Yorker over there and my daughter. Wants the Convertible on the showroom floor. The salesman said. Well, let's go in and call the bank. We can arrange financing. This guy pulled the a wad of hundreds out of his pocket. That would choke a horse. The look on his face was priceless.

I really didn't think any one would believe me. Thank you for the 37 likes.
Heard stories like this. I think there was 1 where a guy turned up in ripped jeans and overall unkempt appearance. Salesmen didn't want to deal with him so they gave him to the new guy. That guy was Alice Cooper. He bought several cars and they weren't cheap ones either.
@bobfg3130 wow that's cool.
You are up to 90 now.
A friend of mine did something like this. He wanted a 740iL BMW and went into the showroom in dirty JNCO jeans and a dirty tank top. Everyone ignored him until he pulled out a can of spray paint and wrote “Mine” on the hood. Of course they lost their minds until he started pulling out cash. Then it was all “yes sir”. He was inspired by Waylon Jennings having done similar, but Waylon was pulling his money out of his wife’s bra.
@@adamr9215 Went to a Dodge dealership after I got off. Work from my tire shop one today. I'm pretty sure I defined the word dirty. Waited outside the showroom, while all the salesmen were sitting at a table around the some girl doing their homework. Wait at about 810 minutes. Turned around to my truck. Got my cash out of it. Stuck it in my hand and then flipped it over. While they were watching and then got in and drove off. 20 years later, I was telling one of my customers while I was fixing her flat about it. And she said, I was the girl sitting at the table doing my homework. And I remember you doing that. She said the look on their face was awesome.

This is extremely accurate and happened when I bought my first six figure car back in 2007-- I dressed very simply like I always do and none of the sales idiots ventured to approach me for almost 40 minutes. Young lady that finally approached me just started a couple weeks prior and had just returned from lunch. I ordered my car, made sure she got a fantastic commission, then called for the manager-- let's just say he was still apologizing months afterwards.
No he wasn’t and they didn’t apologise stop with the bs, it’s embarrassing.

Sold a 4.2m property site to a guy with ripped shorts and filthy clothes. Turns out he was worth over 200m in the end. My colleague was treating him like shit didn't want to let him in, and boom I sold it for a record seller was stoked. Had another one where the buyer inherited 7m from his mother's death and went to numerous agencies for help no one did came into ours we sold him almost our entire stockpile within 3 days. All cash. Never assume anything about anyone and be kind, it's a fucking hard world for everyone.
When I turned 18 I had saved money for my dream car and finally found one at a local used car lot. It was a 1976 Jaguar XJ12 Coupe. I approached the salesman and he told me he would show me the car when I came back with my parents. I showed him the cash, turned around and walked out. Best decision I ever made, that car was a piece of crap, haha.
18 year old Friend of mine wanted to test drive a brand new Gremlin. The salesman told him to hop on his peddle bike and come back when he’s old enough. He pulled his giant wad of cash out of his pocket, (he’d been saving for years) fanned it out and let the guy know he’d just lost a sale. Turned around and went elsewhere.

I remember when a close friend went to Subaru dealership with his wife. They are from India. They stood around checking out the 2009 Subaru Legacy for about 45 minutes. The entire sales team ignored them. At 2pm a young African American gentleman runs in, apologizes for being late for work to his team and sees them. He walks over and tends to the couple who end up buying 2 New Legacy’s. One of them were the GT. The look on the faces of those who ignored……..
Racism against Indians is nothing new tbh. Its shameful. Only a POC would get it.
Strange. I'm West Indian, born in the UK. I went to a Subaru dealership here in the UK, walked around and got into a WRX, was there like 20 minutes, staff just kept playing minesweeper. The local Skoda dealership gave me the keys to test drive, alone, the then top spec Skoda vRS (Golf GTi derivative), I bought that a week later, had another one, since.
@@sixman9 The OP’s story is pretty commonplace here in the states. Salespeople of this order work solely on commission, so they see it as a waste of time to talk to anyone who isn’t dripping. The thinly veiled racism is everywhere, but Americans seem to be gunning for the number one spot there; I digress…if these snooty salespeople knew anything about the human condition as it relates to wealth and the sales profession, they would know that one should NEVER judge a book by its cover. That’s how one is guaranteed to lose money. In the sales game, every penny counts, you know?
Being a judgmental sales person is by far the dumbest combination
To be honest, going to work (in my head) means that you’re there to work. Picking up and adapting such poor habits that supposedly makes you cool and all knowing, is dumb. As you not only miss out on improving on self…….but *real connections go way beyond benefitting of a financial kind. As Life is filled with all kinds of people, capable of all kinds of things. Most that like to act like this and that, really be swearing that they’re exclusive and someone that everyone wants to know.
Your approach toward people means more than given credit for. It has the potential to unlock your life…
Very true. I have often noticed, if you know the right thing to say to somebody, there is unlimited potential. People never understand the opportunities they have.
Its been almost 25 years and ill never forget this lesson and still tell story to people. Fresh out of High School at 18 I started what turned into a 15 yr job installing high end custom cabinetry. In the 1st month working I we were on a job in a Fly-in community with most houses having a aircraft hanger and taxiway to runway. After a few days there the woman said that her husband just finalized the purchase of his new aircraft and will be flying it from Michigan back to Florida and will be here tomorrow for yall to meet. The next morning unloading the tools you can see in the hanger not a small Piper or Cessna, but a Learjet that to me at the time looked like a flying Lamborghini! It was beautiful, it was incredible, a piece of aviation artwork. Of course I'm expecting to see a man dressed from the neck down in like an Armani suit or someone crazy in shape and tan with an expensive watch on his wrist... But no... the guy with the super model wife and the father of 2 well spoken and mannered 5 year olds twins looked like a out of shape bald t.v. repair man. He had on old beat up matching gray sweatpants and undersized sweatshirt. Rounded indoor/outdoor eyeglasses that stayed black. Wearing 10 year old NB shoes that a thrift shop would trash. Honestly you would walk past this man at Walmart and have no clue he had 20 million in the bank... To this day I have never based their financial standings or judged someone just from what I see or how they look...!
Thank you for sharing this. And yes, we should not always judge people based on their appearance.
We shouldn't judge people by their wealth, social status, job, position etc. A person should be measured according to their morals, character, integrity and work ethic.
That is one lucky bastard right there
20 million is not really private jet money, well maybe if his company wants him to have one. My former boss lives on an island with a runway, he basically only leaves it when other companies want him to and they send a plane. He does not own one 😅
and the wife was a gold digger pos so the moral of the story is that money only brings problems. You cant buy happiness
I once sold well over $50k in specific luxury products to a dude wearing worm out work clothes, that rolled up to my store in a beat up, rusty Honda. Turned out he owned a chain of hotels and wanted to buy one for every one of his employees for christmas. My boss tried kicking him out of the store *during* the sale. I was furious. Corporate ended up getting involved.
A coworker sold a similar amount to a woman that my boss thought was "the new cleaning lady."
Sounds like corporate should have removed him and made you the boss
I worked in sales a while back. I treated every customer like they were a celebrity. Nothing over the top, just courtesy. They sent the regional manager after I was there for a month because of a sales "error." Because I was a sales trainee, I had to ring things up under the "house" account. Apparently, the house had the highest numbers in the district that month. Treat your customers like they matter, and you will open their wallets through their hearts.
Just to clarify cause I'm slow, there was no error, they thought it was an error due to the increase in business you brought in? Did I follow that right?

My grandfather was a dairy farmer and one of the richest men I knew. At any time you saw him would be wearing old jeans and a blue shirt. He must have had 10 of those shirts. He always looked like He hadn't shaved in a week. Looking at him, you would never believe he had at least $40,000 in his shirt pocket. He was always going to the stock auctions and buying and selling cows.
It's a cow farm you're gonna find cows outside
Talking about,” HOOKERS ?”
I watched old cattlemen meet at the cattle auction to get away from their wives and laugh with their friends. Those guys bought 100 head at a time and one bought each of his 5 kids a new house. These guys wore old bibs and bought all my cows cause they were gentle. That's money. Never think an old cow man don't have money, you'll be shocked

Very true. I worked in furniture and there was this customer that came in wearing sweats and no one greeted him when they were all in the front. Well, I decided to greet him like any buying customer. He ended up buying 9k worth of furniture and kept coming back asking for me everytime he needed something. He even confronted the manager about how it was messed up no one greeted him when he came in and made them look foolish. I hope that man is doing well.
Wealth is best when it is quiet. I'm retired from a 30 year career in the car business - I had many such sales from customers that other sales people dismissed. One of my sales beliefs was the importance of getting absolutely everyone behind the wheel for a test drive. I would ask them to drive it to their house or business if it was nearby - to see how it fit in their parking space, and to show it to their family or friends or coworkers.
There is a lot of valuable meaning behind the saying “make your money in the dark”. Obnoxious, flashy, in your face wealth, draws far more attention from the wrong type of people.
That's smart, and have their family convince them to get it
Smart 😃
I did car sales for a little while and people do judge, one day this guy came in with tennis shoes, basketball shorts, white T-shirt and a hat.

My friends auntie works as Fendi sales. She talked and served a random woman whom every other sales ignored. Few years later, the customer had upgraded to Fendi's VVVIP and only buys from her.
I sold TVs and audio equipment for a few years a while ago. One day, a guy wearing ratty clothes came into the store, and all of my coworkers completely ignored him. Turns out he was a contractor building a man cave for a wealthy client, and it ended up being the biggest sale of my life. Never judge a prospective client by their looks - you never know who's got a wad of cash burning a hole in their pocket.
I worked in the stereo depth of an electronics store back in the 90's. A guy came looking like the wrestler hillbilly Jim. Really tall, red shirt, overalls, huge shaggy black beard and wild curley hair. He came in, I greeted him for entering my department. He said nobody would wait on him. He bought a stereo with our most expensive speakers, a big screen tv, and a vcr as well. When I was getting the stock on these items, other salesmen approacheh him and he waved them away saying that I was the ONLY person he would deal with. I got a good commission on that one. Funny thing was that our training told us to not pre-qualify the customers, and I was still new there.
A friend’s older brother wanted a new car. He could afford a BMW 5 series, so we went to a BMW dealer. It was around July, in Houston, and that day was scorching. We all had on shorts and t-shirts, and after looking at a couple of cars, we noticed that all the salesmen were just standing around talking. We left to go to another dealership, but on the way we spotted a Lamborghini dealership. Just to see what would happen, we stopped in. As soon as stepped in, we were immediately greeted, and treated like we were going to buy.
They might be trained to treat everyone well, same as our local lambo dealership and most people are coming to look and that's okay.
"But he's live." Somehow this hit hard.

I tried car sales as a 21yr old and hated it because I couldn’t conform to the car salesman bullshit! I don’t like screwing people over. Thing is, during my year as a salesman I crushed every other salesman because of my honesty and “rebellious” ways of selling. My first day actually on the floor, I sold 3 cars and took a trade-in to one guy for his 2 18yr old kids and himself. I had the highest gross profit ever at that dealer for a single sale on my first real day. I crushed it and made 6 figures my first year but left because I hated the atmosphere and the gross people dealerships attract. I went and started my own business using what I learned and never looked back! I’m now 35🤙🏼💪🏼🤘🏼

I remember I wanted to buy 2 Toyota tundra(platinum). I asked my wife let’s go test drive one. I just got off work. We drove down to the dealership. I told them I wanted to buy 2 tundras. Can I test drive it? They refuse to let me test drive. Because I had on work clothes. I do construction for a living. I got offended and drove over to ford. The moment I walked through the door. The fleet manager walked up to me and showed me their top f150. At the time it was $100k truck. She asked me if I wanted to test drive it? She told the general manager to get me keys. He asked me for my drivers license and was hesitant. The fleet manager stopped him and said no need. She gave my wife the keys. I asked her how do you know I can afford this truck? She said I recognize a contractor. All I deal with are contractors. We bought the truck and paid it off in 3 years. Not everyone with money wears suits. Most of us like to look poor😏
True story, as told to me by one of his good friends. Former very successful motorcycle racer wanted a new Viper at the time (90s). Drove up to the first Dodge dealership in a tanktop and shorts (clothing judgment, but that's how he dressed back then: poor country boy from the South before he made it big). Nobody would help him, so he went in to the showroom floor and yelled 'Is anybody gonna f'ing help me?' Salesmen told him to leave because he couldn't afford anything. He got pissed and went to the next Dodge dealership down the road. Walked in and said 'I want a Viper and I've got cash.' He told them the story of the first dealership, and then they realized who he was (local celebrity and hero), and were more than happy to sell it to him. He then returned to the first dealership in his new Viper. Walked in to the showroom and said 'F*** y'all. Y'all missed out', and burned rubber out of the dealership. Moral: NEVER judge a book by its cover.
This is from White Collar, he’a actually working as an undercover agent for the FBI. Awesome show on Netflix highly recommend!

Season 2 episode 7 prisoner's dilemma
Thank you I was looking for the name
Not on Netflix in Canada, darn.
@sofil1741, when you said he was working as an undercover agent for the FBI, the salesman or the customer?
By selling for years luxury items i learned that you should always treat all customers as high payers. The ones that had more money were more trouble, the ones with less money bought constantly and without questions. Everyone treating them bad or rejecting them makes them appreciate someone treating them with dignity and that feeling is priceless.
Years ago I wanted the new Trans Am (the last model they made, but we didn’t know at the time), I entered the dealership with cash to buy a full optional ram air etc. I had to wait hours because all the salesperson were having coffee and chatting. Finally one of them asked me and I said: this black Trans Am. He said I wasn’t the type for that car and I could have an old red v6 instead. Probably because I’m a college teacher and I don’t look like a quarterback. In the end I crossed the street and bought a Mustang.
First day on the job.. “you’ve been here before 😂”
Customer service and connection !
No he was actually there earlier that same day
@@kevboy7770, even if he wasn’t he made the guy feel like someone is paying attention. My buddy who was the epitome of a salesman could sell popsicles to Eskimos once told me at his cellphone business, “they come through the door looking for a phone. Our goal is to have them leave with a phone.” They always left with a phone.
I grew up in Palm Beach County (Lake Clarke Shores, Palm Springs, & West Palm Beach, Florida). I learned this lesson as a young man. One of the riches men in the area (in real estate) wore new odd looking polo shirts, old torn jeans or slacks and worn out boat deck shoes (with a ratty straw hat). This man owned a huge amount of land throughout Plam Beach County.
A role for a salesman. Don't ever judge anyone by their look or attitude. Always try to sell it. That's what makes you better than anyone else 👍🏻
One of my dads first sales was a 2003 50th anniversary C5. Went for like $60k at the time. Guy came in wearing a fishing shirt and waders. Everyone but my dad ignored him. Came in the next day with a suit and cash. Sold.
True. If you judge a prospect by looks alone, then you're NOT a real salesman.
I used to work for a multi millionaire who still came to work most days, worked alot weekends and would fling overalls on and get tools back out all the time to help the boys out, he could have retired and let the engineering business run its self comfortably, i bumped into him at an audi garage a few years after i left the company, he had old shoes on, an old Pringle sweater and boot cut jeans and his hair was untidy. He was totally ignored and I could see the sales stairing at him at times as if to say whats this older guy doing. He was about 61 by this point...
I was offered coffee, tea and some cake within mins of looking at the cars. I was looking at the used section and was instantly approached and pushed to spend way over my budget by some slime ball that day but didnt end up buying.
He had been looking at an sq8 and a brand new q7 in the premium section for his younger wife and kids. He ended up buying an rsq8 at another dealership.
Don't judge a book by it's cover is one of the best lessons in life that so few ever listen to.
I seen people so rich that they won't have to work for generations to come but live so simple and stay so humble
When i was 12 i drove past a supercar dealer with my mom and i saw my dream car (ferari 812 superfast) and we decided to go look at it since i never seen a supercar in real life, the owner of the shop comes up to us and asks if i want to start it and rev it as a pretty shy kid i only started it but after 6 years its still my dream to own that car, what an amazing feeling
i swear i did this in February this year when i went to a Mercedes dealership to checkout a used 2022 challenger scat pack they had. i was there for a while, and all the old salesmen were ignoring me and not even bothered when i walked by them. A young salesman approached me and brought the keys without me asking if i can do a test drive lol. needless to say, I bought the car.
I had the exact same experience buying a fully loaded Mustang GT when I was 24. Nobody wanted to help me test drive it until they finally sent a new salesman to help. I’m sure he got great commission that day.
My husband walked into a Benz dealership in 2016 on a fact-finding mission to figure out which model would suit us best. Picture a middle-aged dude coming in wearing basketball shorts, old running shoes and a plain t-shirt. All the seasoned salespeople completely ignored him. The young guy came over and treated my husband with genuine respect. I went back with my husband a few days later and when the seasoned guys saw me with my husband, they realized their negative judgment had come back to bite them in the butt. Any car salesperson worth his salt knows that when a man shows up again, this time with his wife, a sale is happening. We left that day with a new Benz. It was a very satisfying moment to see those sales guys staring at us on our way out. After that, we refused to deal with anyone except the young guy.
Perfect example of never judging a person by their appearance. Everyone should be treated with respect and curtesy. I learned this concept a long time ago especially when your in the sales force. Thank you for sharing.
Here's a note of wisdom from a 50 year old broad that was in outside sales for the car industry for over a decade:
NEVER, EVER JUDGE A CUSTOMER BY HOW THEY LOOK!!!!!
I personally watched a farmer come in from the fields to buy his wife a GMC Yukon Denali XL for Valentines Day!! He was still in his "work truck" & overalls. Dirt & dust all over him. The biggest dig was that he paid CASH!! But everyone at the dealership knew him already & most customers in that town were farmers for Riceland.
And an extra piece of knowledge, Riceland in Stuttgart, Arkansas is the WORLD'S largest rice producer!!!
But really, the truly wealthy don't blow their money on a ton of high-end, name brand things. They typically save their money, hence why they have enough to spend on what they REALLY want!!
I talked to a salesman at the airport and it kinda changed my life. This guy asked fantastic questions and listened. That’s all people want.
First rule for every salesman, never judge and underestimate your customers, treat all the customers equally
Yet, so many skip this rule... Similar to others in differnt capacities.
I used to work retail (music instrument store), this happens all the time. One of my best spending customers was a guy who would show up in sweats and a ratty tshirt. Turns out, he was a divorce lawyer. Would come in an buy at least 1 high end guitar a month.
You can always tell the difference between old money and new money. Most new money rich folks will be gaudy and like to show their wealth off but people of older money and hard earned money are usually like this guy and have manners and class and just want to be treated like the average joe. My dad has taught me and my sister that if you are somewhere that is known for elegance and money don't act like you've never been there or could never see yourself there and look stargazed, just be well mannered and be humble and treat others with respect and kindness and you'll be surprised by the people you meet and conversations you'll have. My family by no means have major money like this but my sister and I grew up comfortable and clothed and never wanted for anything but we stay grateful and humble in everything we do. Don't discriminate people just because the way they dress or look or anything. Money isn't a permanent factor and just because someone is rich doesn't mean they're going to look a certain way.
That gen of the gallardo is one of the best looking cars lambo has ever made, hands down
I remember my dad took me and my brother to a housing complex to buy a house. We drove there with motorcycle, Yamaha Vega. Yes it is an old motorcycle and all of salesperson of the housing complex looked down on us. When we about to leave my dad showed his card and said to the salesperson "i can buy a house right here and right now but it seems that you disrespect us, you miss your chance. Have a nice day". Well we ended up bought my grandpa's house and renovated the house
yamaha vega haha, love that old bike ngl im still riding it
Vega is kinda beast when u took care of it
So you think that some random person leaving a viewing and saying "i can buy a house right here and right now but it seems that you disrespect us, you miss your chance. Have a nice day" is proof of anything?! lmao! Anyone could literally do that and they dont have money at all. Saying you dissed me blabla doesnt make the salespeople respect you, they would just think you are a moron. Imagine thinking giving someone your business card helps at all, haha!
@@lillerosin2915 why so salty lmao. It's not 100% exact word, it's almost 20 years ago. My dad really has the money to buy the house and we were looking for one. But this one sales really disrespected us just because we used an old motorcycle. Other sales in other housing complexes didn't look at us up and down to mock us. They still did their job with a smile, if they want to mock behind us we don't care, but not in front of us. I thought the sales job is to make us want to buy their products not looking down at their customer
Also my dad did that cuz he was so pissed at the sales for looking down at us like that. He had never done that before, it's just he was so pissed so he showed them that he would buy the house if he wanted to
Society needs more people like that sale person
He's a con man that was doing it to gain access to her computer lol
This is why I take every customer that walks into the showroom
I remember walking on a car lot for over an hour being ignored by all the sales people. I finally walked in with my wife and asked for the owner. When he arrived I made sure to pull out my 10k in cash and let him know that he did not lose a sale that day but a customer for life. I later learned he fired all the sales people immediately after I left.
