Holy crap, how do they sell any of this?

[Mikey P]

good gawd, those instructions and method...

 

[hogjowl]

Because they’re selling to us

 

[Mikey P]

Us as in inbred southerners?


Or Us as in homeowners who will believe most anything in order to not hire a pro?

Carpet Cleaners

 

[Mikey P]

no carpet cleaner would use it due to their shitty implied instructions.

 

[Cleanworks]

It's fast and easy, isn't It?

 

[Mikey P]

it a lot easier than the video implies

The guy just seems so natural and not at all as if he is reading cue cards or has just wet himself.

 

[DAT]

Goes to show how much money one can make selling this or other diy products. I should do something like this.

 

[Acp]

Wow, that is so slow. Nothing beats a wooster brush, I can walk a grout line practically one end of room to the other.

 

[Jimmy L]

The whole time I was focused on him reading the cue cards too!

Which brings up the issue of how we come across to customers. Are we lecturing, posturing, or just having a normal conversation? Something I struggle with, as it is just too easy to vomit information.

 

[Mikey P]

You?

With that gift of gab?


Most good customers want as little tech info as possible and would rather talk sex religion and politics

 

[hogjowl]

I can imagine Stevens customer with a sock in her hand

 

[Old Coastie]

LOL

 

[rick imby]

it is just too easy to vomit information.

Every industry has stuff they vomit to sound impressive. Emulsifier, citrus, all natural, in all honesty, to tell you the truth. I like the term Old guy used... So how can you be old coastie if you no longer live on the coast?

 

[Old Coastie]

Young Coastie did.
