Tricky Sales Talk
FON’T be misled by challenges —guarantees—
laboratory analyses—price comparisons—-claims of 25%
savings—made by distributors of special-brand tires.
A recent example of a grossly
misleading and extravagant state-
ment by a distributor of special-
brand tires is—“Mount one of our
tires on one wheel of your car and
a tire of any other make on the
opposite wheel. If our tire docs
not give you equal service at a
saving up to 25% in price, we will
give you a rew tire free.”
This statement can be made
for only one purpose—a desper-
ate effort to gain your confidence
and sell you a tire before you have
had time to think about the ridic-
ulousness of their challenge, which
asks you to buy one of their tires
and go to another store and buy a
tire—have it mounted on the op-
posite wheel—then turn yourself
into a tire tester!
