Lines heard from vacuum cleaner salesmen
6/3/2008 at 11:22 AM
Had the priviledge of sitting in on an EXL Winnipeg vacuum cleaner salesman's pitch last night and heard a bit of a doozie.
After you sit through it all, they offer you a choice of 2 free gifts that they'd promised wouldn't disappoint. The first was a 3 day, 2 night "holiday" that it would appear they have some benefit in offering. The second was explained as something the boss figured he'd better include since the boss figured that "people in Brandon might not travel very much"... a free flashlight!
He went on for a little bit explaining the flashlight, but did his best to guide things in the direction of the holiday.
What are some of the lines you've heard from vacuum (or door-to-door) salesmen that made you do a double-take?
