Surviving the Sale Part 3

Welcome to the third installment of our Surviving the Sale series.  As with the other two we will be pulling apart the sales process in order to help you take some of the stress out of large purchases.  Remember, these tips will not make you an expert in negotiation and sales, but they will help you come out just a little better when all is said and done.  Without further ado:

Thank you to everyone who has emailed and told us how much they are enjoying the Surviving the Sale series!  Dennis has been a little busy over the last few days getting people some ridiculous deals on cars so the next installment is being held up some.  If you have questions on the first two posts or anything you would like to see covered in upcoming posts, let us hear from you!

Post your questions/comments below, or head over to our Facebook fan page and get the conversation going!  

Thank you,

Our first question is from Mark in St. Paul:

Q:  Why does the sales person knowing about me personally help them, or me for that matter?  Maybe I don’t want to tell them about my life.

A:  You do not need to divulge all of your life lessons and secrets, letting them know about some of the major aspects of your life will allow them to help you choose a vehicle that is catered to your needs.  For instance, lets say you own a boat.  The sales person may hear this and ask about the boat, what style, length, ect.  Where this may seem trivial to most, he may actually be thinking (if he is a good sales person) that the vehicle you are looking at purchasing does not have a towing capacity for that type of a boat or trailer.  With his knowledge of vehicles and their abilities, he should be able to direct you to something that will tow your items better, saving you money on gas, as well as wear and tear on the vehicle.  Having an undersized vehicle for towing is one of the worst things you can do, as it puts a large strain on the engine, breaks, and overall is not safe for anyone involved.

Surviving the Sale Part 2

In my first post of this series (found here), I said we would be giving you some secrets that will help you in your purchasing of large ticket items.  In order to make your life easier, I am going to walk you through each step as and give you the inside scoop as to what the sales person is trying to accomplish and what your role should be.  The first step in the process is the Meet and Greet.
