Disappointing behavior from Tommy’s guy. To say one is better etc just shows real life ignorance. Different yes. Better ehhh…

Take it with a grain of salt, just a sales guy doing whatever it takes. Tommy's is a massive dealer chain and the one by me behaves the same way. Only reason I step foot in that place is the pro shop is best one around.

I was a sales manager back in the day at circuit city. we were INGRAINED that you NEVER disparage another vendor/product. if you can't sell on why our product was better by showing features/advantages/benefits then you were canned. bashing others is a sign of a $hitty salesman that doesn't know the business/competition.... if you know what you are selling and are the subject-matter-expert as you should be, you know why yours is better and you can point out why the moomba they are sitting in is better than the axis without saying axis is garbage. axis does have benefits over moomba and vice versa.
my opinion but I've walked off car lots when a salesman starts down that path. I have come back later to see a different salesman.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Last time I was in Tommy's, I had a Supra hat on. Sales guy asked if I was ready to buy a real boat......
Just laughed it off. No biggie.

The part about "being a subject matter expert on what you are selling" is often lost on most car salesmen. I can't tell you how many times I have known more, much more, about vehicle features than most of the saleamen I have spoken with. I have not talked with too many boat salesmen, but the few I have seem to be knowledgeable. If my job was to sell trucks, cars, boats or whatever, you bet I will know everything there is about it. That's a pet peave of mine when the salesman doesn't understand what he is selling. Originally Posted by sandm

I am with sandm on this one. I am walking out or I might laugh in their face. They obviously wanted a reaction so I can offer one up. Might end up buying that brand but from someone else for sure. We are talking about expensive purchases and to knock someone’s decision…basically call their baby ugly….nope.

Tommy's is no longer the Chattanooga dealer. Skiers Marine is the dealer now. Originally Posted by KnoxMojo

Right on, didn't realize you guys had changed the dealer. You only talk smack when you're scared and needing to make a sale Originally Posted by Mobius22

2023 Boat Shows
The fact that SC replaced Tommy's says a lot.
