Professional services only...no opinions please!

I went to the Space Coast Home Show today at the Cocoa Expo. There were lots of vendors. O e of the vendors was an interesting character. I don't know how much of a sales person though.

What did he do that was, in my opinion, less than professional? First, I asked him how much his product would cost. His answer - I can't tell you without coming to see you at your house. (OK - that was a sales person response!) All I wanted was a ball park estimate, please.

If you wanted to sell your Viera home and called me to ask how much it would cost....I would give you an estimate - over the phone!


The other thing this guy did that was not professional (in my opinion)....He talked politics! I am not opposed to discussing political issues but not in a customer-oriented environment, no. As a real estate agent selling "my services" I am sure you don't care about my political views.

What has a professional service or product to do with politics? Is this one of those rhetorical questions?
