I'm developing my own set of rules as a customer for sales people.

1. I'm not buying an appointment. Unless you are willing to tell me more than you are supposed to I'm not sitting down to talk to you. I want prices, I want specifics, otherwise go fuck yourself. An appointment is a waste of my fucking time if I'm not really really interested.

2. I have a list of trigger words and sales techniques that if I'm presented with will end the meeting immediately. I'll provide the list at the meeting or beforehand.

Words:

a."Charity" I don't give a fuck about what charities you support, I don't give a damn about how you will help me to give. I'm pretty sure that the average seller and I aren't divvying up our loot in a like manner, I'll not boor you with my good deeds don't bother me with yours.

b. "Fortune 500" just don't say it.

c. "Social Media" Told a guy trying to sell a POS and credit card service that "I don't give a shit about social media, so you should probably not talk about it to me." It's not true that I don't give a shit but so far 80% of my social media businness has come from an app called "Next Door" that doesn't integrate with any POS, 10% has come from yelp and google maps, 5% from Yik Yak and the rest from Facebook. I don't need a POS that integrates with Facebook and Twitter. The guy proceeded to burn fifteen minutes repeatedly bringing up social media ever few minutes. It was supposed to be a fifteen minute presentation.

Techniques:

Presenting me with any testimony from a business man like me. As if being shown platitudes from a flour smudged baker or or a flower shop owner with shears in her hand will get my dollar. GET TO THE PRICING MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

Putting me on the phone with someone else during the sales bullshit session.

So far one credit card company might be worth looking at closer if I can get my sales up. Their system has less data tools than square but with increased sales I could save some decent bread. Untill I get my sales higher the savings wouldn't be worth the hassle of changing over and loosing the data breakdowns. They are local and I've heard good things about them. All the rest can burn in the eternal fires of hell.
