Manipulative sales techniques.

Sales should not be about tricking people to buy your product or service. The Scare 'Em and Save 'Em technique was used against me in the 1970's by a competitor who was seeking to take away my customers. There is a variation of this technique being used in Washington to gain support for massive Bail Outs and "Free" Healthcare. The trick is to create concern for a problem real or imagined and then put forth the solution to that problem which only you can provide. The good news is that when people are educated on the trick, it seldom works on them. Below is a link to the Scare 'Em and Save 'Em training material. I have edited out the first page and internally blocked out words that reference the company that promoted this deceptive sales technique.

• The "Standard" 188.

We expect this "Standard" to be approved on June 26,, 2012 at the ASHRAE Convention in San Antonio, Texas. This and the inevitable legislation (both civil and criminal) which will follow, will forever change the management of rental property in the United States.
