Pashley26 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Being a good brand manager is great. You get to fire the useless c**ts that have pissed you off for the past 2 years and employ decent people who are actually going to look after their customers.

Pashley26 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 One of them sent a picture of his dick to a customer with the caption "FB's yeh?" The other copied a customers signature to try and get an unsigned order form past me. I don't think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wasn't that the same customer you were shagging?! You are a typical salesman through and through...straight from the mould. Obviously good at your job, but you have the attitude to match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 f**king hell. I agree with JD. Apocalypse in 3...2...1... Whoa whoa whoa, you can't say that and then follow it with 9 lines of exactly what is wrong with the stereotypical salesman I don't like the agreement by association that I get lumbered with there. FWIW I'd prefer to see you going to £149.50 in that case and being happy that you'd gone down the 'surprise and delight' road that should keep a customer coming back and telling their friends. Like you say, it's only 50p a month, right? f**k it, give them the car at £149 a month, because it's only a quid. It was nice while it lasted, I guess.

I thought you were a businessman Customer comes in with a target price of £150. My quotation at a normal deal is £180. (Let's say) If I'm going to be the one with all the flexibility then they can f**k right off, retail is a two way street. I'm there to sell, not give things away. If I've knocked £29.50 off what I expect and they won't come up fifty pence then they can go buy off somebody else. In my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 This is true. Back to actual car stuff then. - Day off work tomorrow. Where I plan on doing things to the Golf. Last night I was tackling some wiring, mainly applying a vehicle speed sensor signal to the ECU by bridging the connection from the hall sensor on the back of the clocks which reads from the speedo cable to oddly allow for automatic volume control at speed for the radio. So I bridged it across with the cable running out the window, all ran fine, loads smoother, more boost, rev'd cleanly to 7K. Today I tried to make that a more permanent fix, didn't work. Just like normal. So I bridged it again in the same way. Still didn't work. The MFA's stopped working now too, so I think I've f**ked my clocks hall sensor. Badgering.

Skoze Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Less talk more pictures. I polished my car. With my hand. Fed up of it looking like such a f**king shed when i've put so much effort into it. Oh, and I got a new badge - 'The Camping and Caravanning Club' in a fetching maroon to go with my Institute of Advanced Motoring one.

bing Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I once did that with a rover 214. Just left it there. Left the keys in it, got my bike out the back and rode off. Never saw it again, never had any comebacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
