[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, definitely high pressure sales-tatic. We fell for it once as well.

Another company tried it when we were looking for an HVAC replacement. Both other companies gave me their estimate on the spot. The 3rd looked around and said "When can I come back to go over the possibilities with both you and your husband?" I said, never, since one of us would need to be watching our toddler if we were both home since she would be as well. I kept asking him for the quote and he just kept trying to get me to agree to a second presentation. We never did get a quote from him and went with one of the other people.[/quote]

Omg this happened to us with FH Furr except we were stupid enough to agree to the second presentation. My DH still insists he is glad we did it because he "learned so much". In the end we spent 5 hours with this guy who had the gall to say he was "giving us of his time for free". What about our time? You get a commission, so no you are not working for free. It took so long to get a quote out of him and then it was so horrifically expensive. He also tried to discourage us from getting other quotes. Of course we did, and got a much better system for thousands less. Oh, and the guy who sold us the system was here for an hour, maybe an hour and a half. We didn't need him to explain why it costs what it does. He did (much more clearly and succinctly than the FH Furr guy) explain why he was recommending the approach he was recommending.[/quote]
