Seller telling u to buy CHEAPEST item lol

[Freakie_frog]

How many have u had?

Me personally iv had none. But when i did attend the next reptile show he stopped me and asked me how the bp was doing (month later)

Well I'm a little different kind of customer than the average everyday buyer..
One of my best buying experiences was with Ron Tremper. Thought there was a huge mix up, and Ron instantaneously jumped into customer mode. I've never had a breeder jump to try and fix a problem so quickly.
I'd buy from Ron again in a heart beat.

I try and check up on customers at least once sometime with in 2-3 weeks after they get the animals.

Side note. I buy from friends and people I know so they don't avoid me.. *Eye's Wysocki* no matter how hard they may try.

Aw, I suppose I'll have to start doing that call back thing eventually, lol. I'm just afraid they're going to say 'well, I had this question, the other day he stuck his nose in the corner, and was pushing on it, and I wonder if he was trying to exercise his neck, is there anything I should do to give him a workout?"
...and so on.

Personally, I see no reason to 'upsell' a person automatically. If they're happy with their purchase, they'll remember you, and get more later. That's the most important part.

BPs are like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one. I know of few people who buy a morph, and then never buy more snakes.

Your going to get those questions.. and its part of being a knowledgeable keeper/breeder. Your going to get the questions like "can they eat potato chips" and "why does he hang on when I pick him up". Your willingness to answer these questions will stick in that persons mind. Your going to have people call you with my snake wont eat, and I've had him for 6 months and now he has an RI what should I do? It's all part and parcel of the whole genie gig.

There is no reason to automatically "up-sell" no..but if you ask my opinion I'm going to tell you a Male bee is a better buy than 1.0 Pastel and 0.1 Spiders. I'm going to tell you just buying a male het is a waste of money..I'm not going to "up-sell" everyone some people come money in hand and know what they want and that's fine..But if I can help stretch your dollar as far as I can I'm going to..

But some people when buying things. Not only reptiles but they will try to get you to buy something bigger then what u need so to say.

[joepythons]

Btw im referring to rich from RBI.

Im normally used to people trying to sell me the most expensive item telling me its best for me when its really not

Rich is one of the good ones .He is one that can take a joke and give it right back lol.

lol yea i agree. Iv ordered a few things from him but never talked to him so i emailed him about what to buy. Mind u he emailed back FAST! Like less then a hr lol

Oh he is just as cool in person .

[WingedWolfPsion]

I know, Freakie, but I want to avoid having people actually phone me with those questions for as long as I possibly can. If I call them, they get my number, lol.

And, absolutely--but those are honest upsells. In some cases, a person really would be better off with a less expensive animal, because it better meets what they want. I can't bring myself to upsell in cases like that. I think they'll be happier in the long run if I do not, and they'll be more likely to return.
