“Don’t wish it was easier. Wish you were better”
- Jim Rohn, Business Philosopher
We’ve all heard them and lately I’ve been hearing them a lot more. So in celebration and awe of mediocrity and procrastination, here are the 5 worst opening lines I’ve heard salespeople use....
5. “Hi, how are you?”
Fine thanks. Just looking.
4. “Can I help you?”
A perfect yes/no question. That always gets my favourite response - “Just Looking!”. Why ask if you know this is what people say by default!?!?
3. “Did you guys need anything?”
Wow. You just totally blew me away with such a creative and imaginative opening line. Please take my money... actually I’m “just looking”
2. “Are you happy just to look around?”
Well now that you’ve given me permission, I am very much happy to look around.... and not buy from you!
1. “You guys don’t need any help?”
Seriously? Are you kidding me? Why don’t you just tell me I should save my money and go home!
What’s the worst opening line you’ve heard?
