Business Basics........

Me: You can't discount it that much, you are below cost at that price.

Salesman: But we'll make it up in volume.




Me: You can't ignore a paying client just to try to land another account.

Salesman: But, potentially they will bring a lot more business.

Me: Well, I bought a powerball ticket last night, so potentially I'm a millionaire. You don't see me quitting my job though....




(and just for general information, our entire sales and marketing departments are college graduates with most of our sales folks holding advanced degrees............. )

and no, Labret, that was not directed at you... I would just figure that I would not have to deal with experienced, educated individuals at a business 101 level............
