I would imagine a fair percentage of the population don’t relish the idea of that, including me, & the whole dealership experience is FAR from pleasurable for many. Some must like it but plenty hate it from what I’m told by punters. Pre-lockdown I had the ‘pleasure’ of shopping for fitted furniture. Fuck me, I experienced various persuasion techniques & manipulation attempting to soften me up for what was some of the most ridiculous prices imaginable. If I’m honest it reminded me of the bad old days of sales patter when I used to buy new cars, or double glazing.

You need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff fast in this job, part of which is simply not getting into a game of email ping pong entertaining the cretins. Tbh I don’t take deposits but I qualify hard over the phone before I agree to an appointment. Some don’t appreciate it (usually tyrekickers & those who expect the red carpet treatment) but those that visit usually buy. Funnily enough the few I don’t deal are usually the ones I was unsure about in the first place but decided to take a gamble. However admittedly what works for one doesn’t work for another.
