Skills of the Salesman

    Ever had a sales guy walk in and make you buy something totally unnecessary.

    It is a very confusing experience, let me tell you that. Today morning a kid came in selling carpets, and I had refused him immediately. But my roommate (actually my housemate), got a sudden urge to check it out the carpets. So what does it do? He invites the kid in.

    Now am not telling that the carpets were bad, but there was not necessary for us. And the price the kid quoted for them was around 1400/-. That totally evaporated my roomies interest from buying them. Now to get rid of the kid he quoted a price in return, which was around 300/- to 200/-. This rate was almost 78% less than that placed by the carpet seller. In fact, he was quite certain the carpet seller would refuse that then leave. Guess what, that was the exact opposite of what happened.

    Finally the conversation ended with the roommate buying a carpet for 300/-. He was still surprised by what had happened. But that wasn't the end of it; even I ended up buy one carpet as well. And the best part is that both of us are scratching our heads trying to come in terms with what really happened. And also of what to do with the two carpets that we are having with us right now. Cos, we just realized, there isn't any space as such in our house to actually lay out the carpet.
