Do they ever get caught/in trouble? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1780182 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:27:09 +0000 birdofafeather 1780182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ahhahaha.</p> <p>@cascademom: in college, randoms would complement me on my hair, asking where i got it done and then launch into a spiel about buying a hair/spa package locally. it was weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1779465 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:55:54 +0000 cascademom 1779465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isn't there a Mary Kay tactic where they compliment your clothes to lure you into their makeup. I've heard people detail this on city blogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1779455 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:49:37 +0000 sunny 1779455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: It was a guy and he didn't look like a makeup artist (Ok, I realize I'm judging based on his looks). But he also didn't seem to have any gear like brushes/mirror, etc. with him.</p> <p>I am fairly certain he was just selling the stuff and didn't really know anything about makeup. I wouldn't be surprised if he was just a temp hired by an agency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1779429 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:41:49 +0000 Tanjowen 1779429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked in a courthouse and we had several people come by...offering car washes, jewelry and makeup. It seemed odd but they came around so often several people used/bought from them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1779413 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:36:36 +0000 .twist. 1779413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol! that is funny. free make overs! </p> <p>Well.... not really a sales tactic, but we have had flashers randomly try to enter our office. You need a pass and/or to be buzzed in. They will get buzzed in and then FLASH the reception and run out. </p> <p>It's happened a couple times.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-sales-tactics#post-1779399 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:29:42 +0000 sunny 1779399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A dude just tried to get into the secure area of my office building toting a bunch of goodie bags from Makeover Essentials. When we talked to him, he said he was selling them 2 for $20 and he said that they were like MAC and Estee Lauder (I thought I heard him say they were a new brand *from* EL, but I am not 100% sure). Anyhow, I just looked them up and it seems like tons of people call them scammers. </p> <p>This is probably the weirdest sales tactic I've ever seen with trying to walk into a secure office environment and sell makeup. </p> <p>Anyone else seen any weird sales tactics like that? Or have you heard of Makeover Essentials? </p>
