As of today, I am through trying to do business with low income people. I never targeted this demographic, but if I happened to stumble across some one in my prospecting that expressed interest but was low income, I would still try to work it. Not anymore! This one was the last straw. I scheduled yesterday for an appointment today, got up early to get together the proposal and play with my software for her situation. I mapquested her address (ghetto, great), showed up, knocked on the door, and had a man try to have a conversation with me through the door. He finally sent their daughter to the door. She opened it, and explained that her mom asked me to come back later. I told her that I was too busy, and if she wanted to talk to me again she'd come to my office because I wasn't coming back as I drove too far in my gas guzzling truck for her to break our appointment that we had scheduled less that 24 hours before.
I'm normally not this harsh, but I'm just tired of low income people trying to put me to excess work. These people will not ever be straight with me. I find that these folks will tell you how interested they are, that they want you to come by, and then don't show or ask you to reschedule because they are soooooooo damn busy. The next appointment they seem to be too busy then too!
Does anyone ever even try to work with low income folks?
