"Salesmen have lots of people just shopping around , looking for a price who never buy."
That's how it works. It's called competition, there is always someone else out there who will be glad to take your business if you don't want it. Those "potential paying customers" you mention that called his cell phone? he could have easily called them back, the fact that he answered his cell phone in front of a potential buyer told me he was interested in the first place. I don't feel sorry for the salesman that lost this sale, it's not the customers obligation to buy a product, it's up to the salesman to sell him this product, period. I personally am a JD man myself, but the dealer I have always done business with has been recently bought out by another JD dealership. The new people who work in the local JD dealership are %$#@!^&. Couldn't give a rip if you bouhgt a tractor or a $.50 soda from them. Just don't care, and I picked up on that when I was shopping around becuse I'll be damned if I'm going to put $25,000+ in someones hand that doesn't care about me needs wants or concerncs towards the product I'm buying. So now I'm looking elsewhere, at other brands, simply because the JD dealership doesnt care anymore, but the other dealerships do.
