"I'm just looking right now"

I hate that response from customers more than anything.

Yes, it's quite obvious that's what you are doing. By the fact that you are examining my phones i can clearly assume that you are indeed participating in the action of looking at something.

What might I ask are you F***ing looking for? Prices, models, accessories, etc, etc, etc?

Well to be fair I hate it when I go into a competitors store or any place that has a sales job and they jump on me with a billion questions.

On the other hand when they say that I just follow up by asking them questions without yes/no responses. For instance: "which carrier do you use?" "were you looking for upgrade or new or to try out another carrier?" etc more often than not it gets them to talk. If they have nothing to say don't waste your time they're not going to buy.

Oh yeah I meant to say I got nothing but some accessories out. Odd seeing as how high my sales are compared to the rest of the district.

You know what? I think when you're having a bad day outside of work, you bring in a bad vibe to work. I can feel it. I am giving off a bad vibe.

Ouch! Thank god my boyfriend does not post on here or else, he would be on your side. 🤣 Though I don't cause our arguments, he just misunderstands what I say to him. And gets mad. I've came to work twice sad because of him, but eh never took it out on a customer.

But it is a bit amusing when they rebuff you then you go to the next five people that walked in and got in line and the original person gets agitated because they have to wait.

Well, tough ****. You had your chance, buddy.

but once you walk away they want to ask a question, then get pissy if you are already helping someone else.

theres a reason we dont put prices there jack-o, its so we can do out job and sell, not so you can walk up, look at everyphone and get pissy because none of them say "FREE" 🙄
