So last night a guy came over to Amber's to do a sales pitch for a water softening system. He was a nice guy and not a natural born salesman. But we were sold on the benefits of the system. The pitch involved a cool chemistry set and we could see the side-by-side difference between the hard and softened water. He tried his darnedest to close the deal, and his boss was willing to bend over backwards for us. They even cut the total price in half for us. But even then, the monthly price was too much for us to justify given an upcoming wedding and uncertain income.
We felt bad that we sent the guy away without anything to show for it, he really seemed genuine. But after he left, we went and checked where the thing would have gone, and I couldn't figure where they would have squeezed it in. Maybe in our next place. . .
It was just interesting that we hadn't even been engaged 24 hours and we were already having our first sales pitch together.
