Never let them in your house

One rule at our house is "we don't allow salesmen into the house." I learned the hard way that they know what they're doing and we don't.

This morning I went to Verizon to get my phone fixed. I ended up getting a new phone for practically NOTHING???...they love to do that because it extends your contract AGAIN! But I was intrigued by the way the CSR tried to assume that I would buy a phone cover & belt holder. I had to say No a couple of times.

One of the books I'm reading right now is called.... Influence: the Psychology of Persuasion. We are mannipulated at every turn to buy! Arm yourself against sales techniques....Become aware of what they are doing to us.

I need to go to work...I have some selling to do.
