I just saw this thread and I'm furious!
I'm about this close to walking away from
Coach boutiques and you've pretty much made up my mind. I'm sick of the damaged bags, the *****y and stupid sa's that know nothing about their products. Your post has pretty much made up my mind. Ebay for me, which I know pissed the heck out of Coach, which I LOVE! Ebay ebay ebay
I work in sales, I work in very high dollar sales, I sell millions of dollars a year worth of stuff, I sell to a wide range of people ranging from architects who make half a million a year to welders who are lucky to get $30K a year. I treat them all as if they are my favorite and best customer around. And guess what, they're good back to me.
It's not hard to be good at a sales job, know your sh!t, be nice even when it's very hard to (I've gone out to my car after dealing with crap and screamed at the top of my lungs, but I'm never rude to the customer, even when they are totally wrong)
I don't care what these people are selling, they are SELLING!!!! It's their JOB to be nice to you and provide knowledge about the product they are selling. It seems like Coach doesn't know how to do either
GAH! Okay, I just wrote a crazy long post, but as a sales person, this makes me furious!
