“So, do any of these models pique your interest?” the salesman asked as I looked down the row of product on display.
“Well, the blonde at the end has a great face, but the tits on the middle one are far better.”
The salesman nodded, “Yes, we have quite the selection, but remember that they can of course be altered to fit your preferences with upgrades.”
I smiled a knowing smile, it was a sales tactic as old as sales itself. Get them hooked on the base package and then up sell, up sell, up sell.
It was why none of the base model, while stunning, had any significant “enhancements” to them.
“What do you have in the back room?” I asked.
The salesman’s face slumped a little, “Oh, not much I’m afraid, we’re short on stock of… used models.”
“Oh, alright, well I guess I’ll come back some other time and see if you have more stock.” I said and started to walk out of the showroom.
Before I got far the salesman’s voice called out to me, “Wait! Ah, perhaps we might have something you’d be interested in…”
I turned back towards him and nodded, I’d proven he wasn’t the only one that knew the rules of sales, you had to be willing to walk away if you wanted to get the best deal, and now the salesman knew that I knew that as well.
We both headed out to the back room where I was sure I’d find something I was interested in, and at a much better price than the new models out front would run after all the upgrades I’d need to make to them.
