Am I a jerk not buying purchasing a service/software just because I hate how they sell it?

anyone else get frustrated if another salesperson just straight up does a terrible job trying to get you to purchase? just had a call with a tech company (that I like their product/want to purchase) and the guy literally asked me no questions about my business and then went straight into features I did not give a rip about.

Nothing wrong with that. Part of the product that you’re buying is the service that comes with it which includes the sales process.

Wouldn't think twice about it. If you're anything like me you've probably rolled over and bought some shit you didn't need because it was pitched well.

Yep. And literally refused to buy stuff that I wanted just because the sales guy pissed me off too!

Been there, done that with well-pitched products. I appreciate someone who does the homework, is respectful, and can talk a good game. It's kinda ironic, but I get roped in sometimes.

I think it’s common with us types. Sympathy buying maybe- dunno

Don’t feel bad. I’ve passed on many tools or asked for a new AE because the one I was working with was total shit.

Nothing wrong with it.

But if you see value in their solution, will you eventually buy it?

Maybe not - just based on principle 🤪

Jk. Yes I may still buy it. Although I’m not as eager to and the moment and will likely shop around a bit more

Don’t be afraid to ask for the same things you have been asked for. If you’re not getting good service, move along.

Not at all, its a big lesson for us approaching our role. They might love our product but not like us being pushy

Totally fine. Politely ask if you can get a second opinion from their leadership.

Nope, a big part of sales, even b2b, is emotion.

I get it, up to you of course.
To me also, I mostly don't go for it if I feel the sales rep is a bit pushy!

Not at all.A poor sales experience likely will result in a poor client experience as well

Totally fair. It's indicative of the company you would potentially be working with.

People buy from people they like. If you don't like their style then not surprising you didnt buy

If you really like the software, try getting in touch with someone else maybe? I hate when sales does a subpar job, but when i really know something’s a good fit…
