“Man! I finally got rid of that insurance guy! I thought he’d never leave! Talked my ear off!”
ROFL.
Never had that happen, but I did have a guy that greeted me at the (screen) door, holding the collar of his German Shepherd. He told me to wait on the porch until he could get the dog settled down.
So I did . . .
When he called to say it was safe to come in I stepped inside. He had a dining table near the door so I sat down just a few steps from the door.
He was across the table.
Dog never moved or made a sound.
After 10 minutes or so the dog got up, came around to my side, sniffed, wagged his tail, then sat down.
This completely flustered my prospect. He told me the dog had been trained as a guard dog. He called the dog back over and he came.
Then back over to my side.
I figured I had lost the sale since he was so distracted about the dog's "disobedience". But I was wrong. He bought.
As I was leaving the dog acted like he was going to follow me, but he didn't.
they want to talk about themselves, and aren’t that interested in hearing about me.
Valuable lesson which some agents never learn.
