Day dream of salesman

So our day dream of seeing the salesman came true. After 10 days of waiting for him to make an appointment, he finally showed up on the 11th day.

After so much fuss to get Freddy down to make this in-site measurement, he says we still need to visit his store to choose the materials and pay payment at the store. He doesn’t take a check. We have zero choice but to comply.

On hindsight, I guess in this manner of conduct, Freddy lacked faith in my ability to pay for my order. He had to catch risks of debt. He controlled the condition of purchase because he couldn’t burn his reputation and job.

This frame is part of a longer series in the comic about Buying Blinds.

Prompt – zero , choice, from R. Shipp; lack , manner, debt, control, burn, catch from TheDailySpur.wordpress.com,

The salesman parleys to buy time when time is not on his side. He can only attend to a fixed number of house calls. He tells me he’ll arrange for an appointment. he has been saying the same thing over and over again. His use of the phrase “will arrange”, was overrated.

This sketch is part of a longer series of comic on Buying Blinds.

Salesman gives obliging reply that he’ll arrange for appointment.

40% discount

This is a series of pictures drawn from my diary of events related to a specific episode on trying to buy blinds for my screen door and one window. It all started off innocently enough, when I received two brochures in my mail. There was an offer for 40% discount to buy ready made blinds and customized blinds. There was free in-site measurement where a salesman would come to your apartment to take measurements and give you a quote.

The 40% offer was a type of honey trap. I was blinded by the offer of buying blinds without stepping out of my home. This series of pictures will explain the marketing strategy of an experienced salesman. (“I’ve worked at this job for 5 years” was the salesman’s testimony. )

There’s dirt on discount deals.

40% discount on window blinds, blinded by offer.

Prompt – #FOWC dirt.
