I was at the NYC boat show a few years back checking out some BIG fish boats. There was a guy there walking around the booth for a while, dressed is slum casual clothes. Not one salesman would give him the time of day. Finally, a sales guy that just finished with a customer walked over and asked if he could help the guy. The reply was "you're the first salesman that bothered to come over to help in over 1/2, thank you very much. I want to buy that boat right there." They sat down and wrote deal on a boat that was just over $1M. He made sure the rest of the sales guys know tha the purchase went down too. The look on their faces was priceless.
It happened to me at a boat show in North Atlanta. Had money in hand,boat picked out,no one would help me.This was a small cc fish boat but It still would have been a sale.
