Badger Ordnance action

C'mon Troy. Who's the "professional" here? Sure, the illiterate ramblings of GunBoy are tempting to comment on, however, I think you're doing more damage to your own reputation by replying to it.
By the way, "would you rike some flied lice with that spling lole?".
And this has got to be one of the saddest examples of a "professional" I have ever seen on this forum. Sure is easy for you fellas to get tangled in a lot of BS. Do you know how many people are reading this; 1396 views as of this moment. Way to go. Once again, you guys have managed to totally hijack a thread with this utter nonsense. Wow.
Well then, if you haven't been in sales forever and you haven't dealt with someone in person and then haven't had to listen to him rant on knowing full well he's wasted other peoples time as well, then you haven't been around long enough to comment now have you. At the dealership, we'd call them tire kickers. In the gun business we're just way too busy to deal with these types of people. Senes the frustration yet.
Troy, I've been in the auto biz for almost 20 years now and can empathize with what it's like to deal with demanding and in some cases downright indignant people. Sure, you vent your frustrations around the water cooler with your buddies and such but you don't voice those same opinions to clients or potential clients do you? If you do, I doubt you sell many cars.
Comming down on 17 Ultra Mag and saying he can't comment on what he believes because he hasn't been in sales forever or that his post count here is low is a crock of ####. If anything, it's a good indicator it's time to pull back and see the big picture here.
You deal with all types in any type of retail business, the gun business included. You deal with them because some of those "annoyances" sometimes become valued long-term customers once people stop treating them like #### and give them a little respect. I'm sure that's not the case with GunBoy and ATRS.
Frankly, if you were that busy I find it hard to believe that you'd spend the amount of time and energy that you have actually replying to GunBoy's deliberate attempts to draw you into the mud. Hint: He's winning here.
You and Rick are bigger than this. Just remember that.

When I used to work being a guncounter ''Hint'' we had the odd few tirekickers, but when you are busy like on a saturday you just don't have the time to shoot the s**t. I can understand & relate with Troy's comment and agree that sometimes you have to take a loss with customers by gut feeling & get the ones that actually want to buy stuff. Its a business!
All of this said, I have little patience but you still have to be respectful with customers (Am not saying that they are always right), so word gets around so you have to give the non buying ones some time

There is one thing I have learned over the years. When in business it is better to keep opinions about people we don't enjoy to ourselves because I wouldn't want anyone that is a potential customer to not come to me because of what came out of my mouth. The phrase that the customer is always right comes to mind even though we all know they are not as I am not. I want to draw people and not give them a reason to walk away. Especially not because of me personally. We all need to scroll pass any posts that we don't agree with and continue with any subject in hand. That's the best way to deal with this kind of thing. One response just puts another log on the fire. I'm not trying to be self rightous here but I enjoy reading on this forum but have been very disappointed as of late. I hope I didn't make any spelling mistakes.
I was actually typing this after reading Airborne69s post so don't take this the wrong way for the guys that just posted replys.
I realize this has nothing to do with the original thread but something that kept coming up in sales training be it in real estate, automotive sales or whatever, the same pie chart which broke 100% of the customers you're going to sell to, into a couple different groups. I found this interesting and some of you might as well.
65% typical customer Q & A then buy.
15% hard sell (hard negotiator but in the end it works out)
10% laydown customer (walk in and buy) love this type
10% don't want to sell to this type.
By this I mean, this customer will break you down physically and mentally and still never be happy so you're better off never selling anything to this type because they'll never appreciate the service you give them.
That moto of, the customer is always right, is wrong. In the service industry, we can all try to work hard at making the customer happy but the customer is NOT always right and it's through tact you convince him of that.
As a customer it's also important to know or self evaluate where you fit into the chart and where your sales person does as well. There are people I would never buy from just because of how they come across in person.

That is Such a BS, I buy #### all the time, Only went back to work so there is extra for Toy, and it people like you that I wanted to stay away from, every time I am on this Forum, specially you and Rick bashing other in Left and Right, that is ONE ####TY ATTITUDE.
This is Between you and Me, no need to get other involve, I do not wanted to Piss or frustrated other, If you wanted to deal with me, let me know when you be in Edmonton, but Cut out the Bull#### thread PM, Say it in my face!
Oh yet, Not too good in Inglish, but OK to get by.

GunBoy: Like I said in past threads, IF you would let it go, they would let it go, but your strong character always says to always have last word so there you go, this WILL never end.
Personally when behind the counter, we got along great but some will never like the way you do things no matter what you say to them. Most at the store like you by the way, however you do come on strong sometimes which be can annoying.
Do they still ignore you at P&D...do you know what I mean?

This is purely a generalization based on what I've learnt from people who teach in the industry. It wasn't pointed at anyone in particular though some, and very few, might take offense to it.

My advice to you is to avoid me like a plague. I come to Edmonton regularly so watch who you piss off.
For God sakes, grammer check what you write. I wasn't kidding about writing everything in WORD and copy and paste it in.
Troy:
You know what I am talking about, The PM not the Post at this Thread, I mean what I say, if you want to say it in my face, do it , other wise let it go, and I will do the same.
And Thank you Airborn69 for trying to resolve some silly issue.
yes, I know not very good Ingllish!

Wanted to add the non-buying type just there to kill time at gunstores, the type that treats you like you're an idiot but are usually idiots themselves (Usually dressed up in camo for the occasion) aka TireKickers.
Not sure how many of them you guys get but we had a good 5% or less.
