General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Total bullshit

Dealers are there to serve the customer, which is what keeps their doors open and the bills paid. If the dealer does a good job of serving the customer, the customer not only spends their money there, they come back and bring friends with them. Sometimes, these friends are brought with directly, sometimes they are sent via referals.

If it were the other way around i.e. the customer had to meet qualifying standards that the dealer set, customers would walk in like scared little animals behaving as best possible waving gobs of money in their hands. Since this is not the case most of the time, it is up to a dealer to show the potential customer that they are qualified to serve the customer and that they deserve that customer's business. Nobody wants to do business with someone that doesn't inspire confidence or trust.

Besides all of that, most audio dealerships have salespeople sitting on their ass complaining about how slow business has been. When they are met with a potential customer, rather than do their best to work with the customer and secure that potential sale, they make a half-assed attempt to offer their services. In doing so, the customer can tell that the salesperson feels "put out" since they had to get off of their lazy ass to see what they wanted.

Obviously, not every person that walks through the door or calls is going to be a paying customer. If one can't deal with that fact, this type of salesperson needs to find a job that they are better suited to. Cleaning toilets might be right up their alley. This type of profession might give them something more to relate to than working with actual human beings. Sean
