I am a sales rep that services all of Western Canada. When I want a new
customer to buy from me, I take them out for lunch, order them in lunch or at
the very least buy them coffee and donuts. When my customers need favours from
me (rush shipping, discounted material, free material etc) they buy me lunch
or take the round of beers. I realize if you are in school or under 22 years
old you have zero clue about how the world works and no $$$ then this seems
crazy. This is how the world works. Every store isn't Walmart. The customer
isn't always right. Relationships are built both ways. This is true of any
business where there is an element of after sales service and support. If you
want a great sale, be a great sales person. If you want excellent after sales
support then be a great customer.
