Follow up to NEVER pre-judge people - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

KeyserSoze · 08-19-2003, 10:10 PM

Well today the last of the cars were shipped to the family members

Now, the piece of shit that screwed himself out of ONE HUGE commission has yet to sell a car this month because he is still whining everyday about what he lost.....even though he never had it to lose. So today after a meeting with, not one, not two....but three managers explaining to me that I took this guy out of the game(he's royally fucked in the head since this happened) yea.......you see it coming don't ya.......me and my DAMN BIG HEART, and the fact that I actually give a shit about other people and want to make sure they have a dollar in their pocket to eat, I sat with this buttwipe and explained that he should not pre-judge people and that all customers that walk on to the lot need to be treated EQUALLY. So as he sat there smiling and saying..."oh...you are so right...I fucked up bigtime and I will never do something like that again" Well, I could not help but see right through his bullshit lying face and I waited.......waited....waited...........and waited for him to say two words "I'M SORRY" I wanted him to just apologize for being a total DICK towards me and calling me a snake and the fucker just did not do it, So I walked into the managers office and told the manager to put a car deal that I did on Sunday in this fucks name so he would have a car on the board. Total commission $987.00 I just gave him for doing nothing...........you see I was going to give him 4 of the cars that I originally sold to the client he dropped and that would have paid him $4300.00 as agreed by me and the three managers........but this fuck did not say "I'm Sorry for being a dick for the past few days". I told the manager I changed my mind and if he can't accept this gift im giving him then FUCK HIM!!

Well, I walked out of the managers office, he walked in and saw that I put a deal under his name and he came out and said "thanks" Not Thank you...........he said "thanks" with a half ass smile and a scarcastic tone. DAMN INGRATE!!

So now I will pay off the IRS as planned and donate some to the United Negro College Fund in his name(thanks for the idea guys) and the rest to the Rehab that saved my life and gave me the opportunity to become the person I am today...Oh......and set something aside for a real nice call girl

The Original Post

NEVER...NEVER...Pre-judge people...(a long one)

for their looks, color,dress,or what they drive..ESPECIALLY if you are paid on commission, because this could happen to you.

So I'm outside today talking to a client saying goodbye and a 95 Malibu pulls in with a black family, cars kind of dirty and the man gets out..he's 40 or so. I walk into the offices and tell the salesman whos turn it is that there is a client on the lot(I'm wholesale...only retail to private clients) he looks at the man, the car they drove up in and says..."I'm busy and those BOOGS aren't going to buy anyway" I smile and proceed to go ask the man if I can help he says "I need a couple of cars for my boss" I ask what is he looking for in particular? He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to me and asks "Do you have any of these in stock?"

The list:

Mercedes

CLK430 Cabriolet Silver or Orion blue

CLK55 AMG any color Cabriolet or Coupe

CL500 Must be Black/tan or Black/Lt. grey

CL55 and color

SL55 not one but two......both identical

G-500 silver but will take another color, just no white.

I ask him to come inside a minute(my heart is FUKING BEATING THROUGH MY CHEST) sit him down and look at inventory sheet.

Lets see...I have all but the CLK55 and the two SL55's but if he could wait a minute I can make a call.

He says thats fine and I ask if his family would like to come inside and wait(they do)

I run a check and find out there are three SL55's, and four CLK55's on the water that should be here in a couple of days.

I tell the gentleman I can have all these vehicles within a weeks time what would he like to do? He asks if I can use his phone because his battery is low on his cell........"No problem" I say(heart is really pumping now.I swear he heard it)

So I leave him in my office, get his two kids and wife a soda, and I hear him say"yea.within a week" He asks me if I could come over and talk to his boss...........SURE!

I grab the phone and the man on the other end asks "If he buys all these cars will we ship them to different parts of the US at no extra charge?" I told him as long as it's in the USA I see no problem.

He asks"Since I know some of these are marked up way over sticker can I at least give him a better deal then if he came and bought just one?"

I told him I see no problem sir but I will need a deposit and need someone to come and do the paperwork first. he asked me to hand the phone to his assistant...I do.

The guy hangs up the phone and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a check and asks how much deposit I need.......(now I'm shitting myself) I smile and go ask my desk manager who laughs and thinks I'm pulling his leg, and says"$300,000.00"

I tell the assistant the figure, he writes out a check and says he's going to get some lunch with his family and if his boss comes in before he gets back to explain that his cell is down and he will be back here in an hour or so.

I tell him to take his time and I will handle everything and offered to pay for his lunch,he said thanks for the offer but he just appreciated me treating him nicely.

He leaves and I sit at my desk and write the cars up:

$62,999

$78,999

$93,999

$136,999

$146,000

$146,000

$76,350

Total

$741,346.00 + tax & lic

As I'm writing this up the salesman who said he was too busy comes over and ask what I'm doing and I told him I'm writing up a sale for that mans boss who is on his way in, he sees this and goes BERSERK........FUKING NUTS!!

Runs to the manager and says I took his up and I can't retail fresh ups and thats his sale(my manager still thinks this is a joke someone is pulling) anyhoo, the manager says if it was his up why was he not with the client? This fucker lies and says he asked me to help him until he was free...BULLSHIT, I told the manager what this fuck said and if this deal goes down and he gives this piece of shit ANY piece of this sale I'll ruin the whole deal and quit. He says lets see if they come back.......I say BULLSHIT.this fuck gets nothing!!

35 minutes later a littlee old man comes in accompanied by one big motherfuker........HUGE!!

We sit down and he explains he wants to give his kids and his grandkids all new cars as a surprise.

We sit down, do the paperwork have a couple of laughs with his assistant who was at two other dealerships and was treated like shit and not taken seriously.

Anyhoo, he wote out another check for the balance gave me the addresses of where to ship the cars and the dates they needed to be there., told me to keep his assistant informed on the status of things.

I thanked him for his business and he tried to tip me $1000.00 which I had to decline(company policy) and the fuck that could have had the sale walked out screaming he was quiting and I ripped him off, that it was his sale about had a heart attack when he found out the commission voucher will be $12,567.00

So for those of you on commission.......DON'T PRE-JUDGE a customer.......that could be you

Oh, and I think a little squirted out my ass when I got my voucher

numberfive · 08-19-2003, 10:29 PM

I wouldn't have given him anything. He was a jerk and got what he deserved. Meh, thats just me though, you seem like a nice guy and I think what you did was great. A bit much, but great.

Vyk · 08-19-2003, 11:20 PM

I seriously think you were way too nice to that jerk of a coworker you have. But, it makes me happy to see goodness like that in a person's heart. You are soooo high on the karma scale at the moment. Bless ya my man, Bless ya.

*takes a lot of crap becomes of being pre-judged* Three cheers for having a hispanic last name! hehe.

Fremen · 08-19-2003, 11:31 PM

You're an ok guy, Keyser.

YourNeverThere · 08-20-2003, 12:26 AM

man i loved the original story and i love the follow up, donating to the rehab that saved your life is amazing, i love it

FlorentinoAriza · 08-20-2003, 01:06 AM

well, a story like this makes my day. a mental vitamine-pil.

let's hope your co-worked also learned a lesson from it.

Roark · 08-20-2003, 03:49 AM

Grat follow up buddy. Very admirable...

The guy is a dick though.

uncle phil · 08-20-2003, 03:56 AM

you done good, kid...

onetime2 · 08-20-2003, 04:07 AM

I wouldn't have given him crap. But then I guess I'm not quite as generous as you.

Charlatan · 08-20-2003, 04:20 AM

Shit. You are piling up some good karma...

Troublebot · 08-20-2003, 05:33 AM

Thanks for the follow-up Keyser. Again, you amaze me by donating part of what you earned. Good man. You are going to tell this jerk off you donated to the UNCF, right?

Have fun with the hooker.

God of Thunder · 08-20-2003, 05:42 AM

I don't care what anybody else says about you Keyser, you're an OK guy.

Doing what you did just made you look better and him worse in the manager's eyes. You didn't pre-judge a customer and got rewarded for it and you gave a sale to a stuggling salesman, even though he didn't deserve it.

I give the whole "donate to a charity in his name" thing some more thought. It worked in my uncle's case because he had died and therefore couldn't do anything about it. In this case, though, it could back-fire. He can claim he did donate the money and make himself look better for something he didn't do.

Donate it in your name and put up the plaque in your office, just to piss him off. (Look, I made so much money on the deal your turned down, I have enough to donate to charity.)

Just an additional thought.

To say it again, "You da man!!"

BentNotTwisted · 08-20-2003, 09:57 AM

I was hoping you would follow up. Kyeser, you are a true gentleman and deserve all the benifits life has to offer. You --->

IMO, the other salesman can go drown in camel piss.

sixate · 08-20-2003, 10:03 AM

You're nicer than me cause I wouldn't have given that asswipe a dime. I don't care if he woulda said I'm sorry or not.

kalisto_911 · 08-20-2003, 01:08 PM

Great Follow up! You are a really nice guy giving that ass wipe almost 1K. Hopefully I will be that cool when I enter the rat race.

clavus · 08-20-2003, 04:56 PM

Ah, KeyserSoze, you warmed my commission-fueled heart.

Fallen · 08-20-2003, 05:23 PM

You are generous to say the least. It's great to hear about people like you that still give a damn and care about others. It gives me hope for the human race.

micah67 · 08-20-2003, 07:05 PM

Thanks for the follow up. I can tell how hard that was for you to do. My hat is off to you, mate!

Jamkid · 08-20-2003, 07:41 PM

Your story and actions are an inspiration.

nostalgic1 · 08-20-2003, 08:01 PM

i wouldn't have given the guy anything.. especcially not after that whole "thanks" thing... damn... what an ass...

you must be a pretty nice guy... thats all i have to say.
