Liar, Liar
----------------------------------------
I usually hang up on telemarketers but was called on by a paticularly
nice guy from Pacesetter. I agreed to have a rep come over for a
"quick estimate" that lasted almost two hours. When we told the rep
that we would never sign a contract on the spot and that we need time
to research other products, the rep refused to give us a quote until
we were prepared to sign. How can I agree to buy something if I don't
know the price? The rep ended up leaving and never called back.
About 9 months later, I was telemarketed again by the same
telemarketer who called me the first time. I told him I did not like
the high-pressure sales tactics of the first guy and did not want to
do business with Pacesetter. The telemarketer assured me over and
over again that "the last rep we sent was fired for being too
high-pressure." He repeated several times that the rep was first
demoted and then fired. I finally agreed to have a new rep sent over
as long as it was just to take measurements and leave a quote. I
insisted that the rep would only be allowed to stay for as long as it
takes to measure the windows. Guess who showed up at my door? The
orginal rep showed up (he remembered everything about me from nine
months ago) and camped out on my couch for over an hour while I was
making fun of him on the phone in another room. I still don't have a
quote from Pacesetter and I don't want one but I think I will keep
having them over when I am bored and need a good laugh. I have
another appointment set for Friday :)
