dealing with home improvement salesmen is always a frustrating experience

Date: October 20th, 2025 12:11 PM Author: Crystalline jew cuckold im getting some quotes on some hvac shit. i had this company do another unit a couple years ago because of COSTCO benefits. theyre the only COSTCO hvac contractor in my area.
the first time i had to look up all the models for everything myself to see if they qualified for the energy efficient tax credit. same thing is happening this time because the dude keeps saying only the top units qualify, but that's not true. he also keeps adding the tax credit into the quote. asked for a quote for a standard unit 3x and he keeps fucking it up. then he said “why would you want that, its more expensive?” and i asked why theyd make a low efficiency unit that cost more, and he clarified he meant after the tax credit. i showed him on the irs website it qualified and he just ignored that.
every one of these salesman are dogshit. idk how you can spend your entire life selling this shit and still not know what youre talking about. ran this past a couple hvac tech friends who confirmed im correct about several things he's wrong about. i hate being a know-it-all client to a putative expert but these guys are just SO FUCKING DUMB and cannot follow SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS.
idk why they just dont have the actual techs do sales. maybe their time is more lucrative just doing the job and they pay their sales guys shit. im about to just forgo my COSTCO benefits and go with a small local breh just so I don't have to deal with this shit.

it's the same with car sales. the salesmen are trained to talk about the monthly price because they're trained to and used to retards who can only think of purchase in those terms. most of their customers probably prefer this too. and they look at you like you have two heads if you have a cash price, or if you choose shorter term financing with a lower APR.
"but... the monthly payments are higher!" |
|
Date: October 21st, 2025 8:03 AM Author: Cracking Cuckoldry Tattoo A huge percentage of people prefer it the way he does it. In his mind if he gives you the base price without rebates some competitor will give you a lower price that includes rebates and he’ll lose the sale. Which is correct 98% of the time. It’s the most efficient strategy for him, who cares what you asked for? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788010&forum_id=2.#49363516) |

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:20 PM Author: Diverse Cocky Twinkling Uncleanness I think the idea of Costco is that they can't rip you off or they'll lose their Costco referalls - which i'm assuming is extremely lucrative.

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:23 PM Author: Big mauve tank tanning salon This is essentially what I was trying to say. The Costco referral program is a quick fix chop shop. Anyone independent has to work harder for your dollar. Of course you have the crooks but you also have the top tier service. The top of the field isn't depending on Costco for business. They're charging more and doing better work. People go to Costco because it's cheaper and has brand cachet. But what you get for less money is a lower quality service. For something small, maybe.
