Among others, there were two relatively solid "tells" as to whether or not a sale was imminent:
1.A guy comes in and says he "needs" a boat. He seems pretty well informed and , maybe, even "knows" what he wants.
2.More importantly, the guy returns with his wife- and she DOES know what she wants- blue, red or green!
This is not meant to be politically incorrect- I just couldn't tell you how many times deals were settled this way (not to mention, guess who held the purse strings!).
Bottom line- We sold FUN!
Great Days!
