So much for that nice guy ever becoming more than just a nice guy at church that says, “hi” to her......<BR/><BR/>Once a long, long time ago, a salesman rang my bell, and challenged me to find a stain that his miracle cleaner could not remove. Though he offered some incredible reward for such a find, I was not interested, and sent him on his way. Then I looked down to see a poor little baby doll with an ink mark across her pretty plastic face. “Ah ha!” I thought, “Nothing will take ink off a dolly’s face. “I grabbed up the dolly, and ran down the sidewalk, calling to the salesman. “Bet you can’t remove this stain!” I said, as I pushed the doll toward him. He rubbed, scrubbed, scraped, and buffed that little face with his cleaner, but he couldn’t get the blue ink to budge. Smuggly, I stood there waiting for my reward, but he came up with a reason not to give it to me. Oh well... I tried. Anyway, I don’t have any girls small enough to scribble on their doll’s faces anymore, but I never did come up with a cure for ink on a baby doll’s face, and for whatever reason, that is something that little children seem to like doing! If someone could come up with a cleaner that would remove ink from dolls faces, they would probably strike it rich!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16258808.post-65586776653968481362007-07-31T13:39:00.000-04:002007-07-31T13:39:00.000-04:00Anyhow, any sales stories to tell? _______________...Anyhow, any sales stories to tell? <BR/>________________________________<BR/>Well I do. My Husband and I was invited to Chili's because one of mine and my husbands friends won a free supper for them self and three other couples. <BR/><BR/>There was a man from Master Guard (residential fire protection products)there. We watch a video about fire safety. Then he came to our apartment to give us a figure of how much it would cost to get it. All I can say is Oh-my to the price. And that's my story in a nut shell. <BR/><BR/>Hope you find a good deal for your windows soon.Theresa's Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928558505389698075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16258808.post-62945846203775117222007-07-31T11:45:00.000-04:002007-07-31T11:45:00.000-04:00Hi Tammy!I SO agree with you about never working i...Hi Tammy!<BR/><BR/>I SO agree with you about never working in sales. I'm sure all salespeople are not like that but I've been around enough sales people to know that many of them come with a certain personality type. <BR/><BR/>This will be kind of a long post and I don't mean to come accross liek a sales person:)<BR/><BR/>Have you tried Wallside? They have a factory in Taylor and gave me a quote one time (gulp, it was for a lot of $$, though)or, maybe--- these were the long time visitors?<BR/><BR/>West Michigan Glass Block put in 5 basement windows for me a few years ago and they were VERY reasonable and friendly. They even gave me an extra discount on the windows because they had to reschedule the service time!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also-- not to be bossy, or anything like that,(I hope you dont' take it that way:) but I and my next door neighbor (when I lived in town) had a wierd experience with Hanson's in case you were considering them. <BR/><BR/>Take Care and happy window shopping! Isn't it so exciting decorating and working to improve upon your little nest? George & I just enjoy that so much.<BR/><BR/>TrixieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16258808.post-23237950361035200562007-07-31T11:11:00.000-04:002007-07-31T11:11:00.000-04:00See I wouldn't have had the patience you did. I wo...See I wouldn't have had the patience you did. I would have told the sales rep that if they couldn't quote me per window, that I would go to a company that could.<BR/>Hope the next rep is easier to deal with.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342729778890255424noreply@blogger.com
