"I'm sorry to cut across you...

[AB]

... but I find it saves time"

This is THE worst thing a salesman has ever said to me when I was talking to them.

Sales people that talk over me instantly lose a sale

I cant believe a sales person said that.
Obviously its ok to say that sort of thing to thick people, because it does, indeed, save a lot of time and boredom.
But to say it to someone you are selling to is bizarre.

Superb.

The sheer cheek to say something like that, to a customer. He did, though I'm sure you'll agree, deserve to be punched pretty dam hard.

If someone was trying to sell something to me and they said that, I'd either hang up or walk away. Instantly.

Indeed. Should be swiftly followed by a nodding agreement, and the comment "it does save time. Thanks for yours, but I need to arrange a call to your competitor. Tara"

[blindswelledrat]

YOu are obviously far more professional than me RM.
I would just say
"no,no-let me cut back across you to save even more time: Cuuuuuunnnnnnnnttttttt"

[zac510]

In what context was it used, I don't understand.. Did they interrupt you talking about the product?

What a surprise. nolar is mentioned and you pop up.

You are as transparent as cling film, and just as clingy.

I've used similar tact, when talking to a Sales Specialist. He was talking absolute rubbish, so I raised my hand and said 'Can I just stop you there', then said nothing and looked away.

He saw the funny side and shut up though.

You stole that from Green Wing!

Salesman "........it saves time."

Customer "Indeed you're right, it has saved me time. You are clearly a now fk off."



I know sometimes customers can ramble on 'off topic' sometimes and you do want them to hurry up, but that is just pure sales-suicide.
