    I used to work for Everest although not in sales. Did all the sales training though as they insisted on everyone being "sheep dipped". Picked up some interesting bits of info!

    Safe style uk are doing some doors a couple of houses down from me and I think he saw a chance when he noticed my front door.
    It might have been a good call as well because Mrs bbb and I has been thinking about changing the front and side door for a while. He’s coming back tomorrow at 10.30.

    Negotiate him down. Then wait until Friday afternoon and ask if he can get it any cheaper with his sales director. Make all the right noises - keen to do it but just after Christmas, covid slowing down work and not sure about an expense but wanted to do it for a while - that will help him convince the sales director to get an extra 5 or 10% off. Not always about the margin, its sometimes about the volume/number of sales ;)

    Once you've been through the training it opens your eyes a bit! Car salespeople use similar lingo and "closing techniques" - sometimes fun to explain that I know what they're doing! Turns the tables a bit!

    Great fun when you have a load of fresh faced youngsters thinking they know it all in front of you
    They soon realise they don't when I play the customer

    Guessing you didn't go inside then? :laughing:

    Loved visiting Oakwell Hall with my Nan back in the day. We went to quite a few museums - Red House (before it closed), Bolling Hall...
