Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

When we were on the sales floor, only an inexperienced bafoon would open his mouth in a negative manner and criticize your gear. It's completely counter productive. Why would anyone try and knock the wheels out from under a prospective new client. It's all about how you work and relate to people, and it's all sales, not just electronics. Make the client feel well about his or her past decisions. It's only common sense, a seasoned professional in the sales arena knows this basic common rule...

And by the way...Your cable choices blow, you're bald, and your feet smell...my work is done here :)

Shinytoys...too bad many a sales person doesn't actually practice the manner suggested in dealing with others. Once in a blue moon I run across a tactful sales person in the audio community...once in a blue moon ain't good enough if they expect to stay afloat in this market

Nsgarch - I have the same experience. My AZ Satori Shotgun look like two barrels of the shotgun about an inch thick each and woven patterns on the outside reflects the light. Friends don't even comment (bad sign - they already think I'm crazy).

Hard to believe that a guest would have the nerve to vocally criticize your system. I also believe that you don't have to start a thread and solicit others' feedback -- tell him to go to hell.

I don't mind because I know better...:)
