So maybe my sales speak if off
Guy texted me on FB about my rod holders .
Gave him the price I'd charge for what he wanted once I got my better material in a week and told him id have to talk to you the post office about shipping and get back with him. Came back from the post office and told him I'd charge him so much shipped to his door. Guy gets a miffed and says why I'm charging him so much more. Told him that's shipped to his door. Well that's keeps going for a minute so I just say ok it's gonna be this much for the holders and this much for shipping . Guy said that sound much better ( same price when you add it up)and said hed be waiting . I've had this happen alot when I was selling sinkers and other stuff. Never had this problem when selling on the trap shed or other forums generally. Shipped to your door is all I have to say usually.What's with people ?

Some folks' brains can't handle the math.

That's good salesmanship, Wolfie. You didn't lie to the guy, you just worded the pitch in the way he wanted to hear it.

Most people just ain't that bright....You could have padded the cost more , add the shipping and made more money ,cause math is hard.... cool

many no math well

have you ever been to a car dealer they will only talk monthly payment they hyper focus on that number

the may not even budge on the price , they want to push out more months and put you at the monthly payment you will agree to.

they never want to talk total

some people get scared by the big number and some people will never do the math to figure out what 84 months at 299.99 is really costing


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
