Never Trust a Salesperson

Recommended: Customer service importance

Nowadays we have a huge variety of goods, products, and services in the market. To choose a good product sometimes can be very hard because all the advertisements and promises of good quality are not always true. Sometimes we all can be the victims of the bad service, quality, and false promises by representatives of businesses. I have experienced this in my own life. I was assured of a good quality for a product. In reality it was not as good as promised by the sales person.

Last summer I was shopping for a gift for a friend of mine. I went to the Gucci store in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Dr. As I entered the Gucci store I didn’t get any help. There weren’t any workers available. Finally a lady asked me if I needed help. She helped me with the gift for my friend. We found a very beautiful purse. I purchased the purse and when I was about to leave the sales person recommended that I check one more purse for myself which they just received. She was showing me the purse and explaining all the best sides of it, the quality, and perfection.

Originally I wasn’t going to buy anything for myself, and also knew that the sales person can advertise their products the best way they can. That day she motivated me to buy the purse for myself that was worth one thousand dollars. It was an expensive purse but very unique. The salesperson assured me that I could trust the Gucci quality, and I would be happy with my choice. She told me that I would never regret this purchase. I ended up purchasing the second purse for myself.

After two months the handle broke. The quality of the purse was not as good as the sales representative assured me. I worse that purse only four times within this period, and I couldn’t believe my eyes that the purse with the value of one thousand dollars could be broken. I was very angry because I did trust the salesperson, and bought the purse. I certainly thought that because Gucci products were expensive they had great quality.

I felt very bad for spending so much money for the bad quality and false promises. I lost my money and had to waste my time to go to the store again.

  • Product Quality Essay

    Oftentimes when we walk by an aisle looking for a bottle of dish soap or a box of cookies, we are given two options – a generic option that costs $4.49 and a brand name option that costs $6.39. The only difference between the two may just be its physical attributes. However, as consumers, we are often unaware of the possible similarities and often opt for the known brand name product. These decisions often reflect consumers’ perceptions of a product’s quality and in turn, affect their purchase behavior. With the rising question of whether consumers’ perceptions of product quality differ from measures of objective quality, companies are growing increasingly interested in developing and changing their marketing strategies. With the available options today, consumers may perceive two products with similar, if not the same claims, differently, and thus will affect their purchase behavior.

Someone, who gestured me to go through, held the door for me as an act of social niceties. As soon as I walked into the store, the sale associate greeted me with a big smile.
