Good thoughts, bud. Yeah, I've been in the car business doing sales in various capacities for almost 10 years now. I can relate to a lot of what you said. I'll add that instead of trying to avoid the "no" a new strategy I've heard of is to try and bring out the No's as quick as possible. This way you have a chance to overcome the objection rather than let it fester and possibly not be addressed.
Would you agree with that sort of approach?
