Who buys a $4000 vacuum on credit lmao Head to https://www.consumeraffairs.com/in_home/kirby.htm or https://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/rainbow_vacuum.html for endless reviews posted by people who can't say no to buying a $4000 vacuum. Some of them are old people getting conned into buying it and these are pretty sad but there are a lot of them are dumbass suburban moms who just don't know how to kick someone out of their house: quote:Today, at about 1 pm shortly after my husband left for work, a young lady knocked on my door. Usually I don't answer the door--but, she knocked just like my brother so I thought it was him. She handed me a bottle of cleaning product and before I even knew what was happening a young man hopped out of the van and grabbed two boxes and they were pushing their way into my house. quote:Having a peaceful night with my family when a guy knocked on our door holding an air freshener. He asked my husband if he could clean our carpets for free. I didn't know about this until the guy came in with boxes. I got annoyed at the moment. He never mentioned about buying or selling... It took 3 hours for this demo and I had no patience at all but my husband and I let him finish. He kept on talking and won't even shut his mouth. Asking many personal questions and getting really comfortable in my house. I didn't like it 'cause he's a stranger!

I have that vacuum, it's actually pretty good. Used to get Dysons and they wouldn't suck as good after a while (sort of likes OPs mom)

How is getting someone to leave a problem in America? Pull your drat gun and tell them to gently caress off.

The rainbow vacuum system is essentially a MLM/pyramid scheme. they sell people the vacuums for $4000 then tell them that they can get it for free if they just demo it to 12 more people and of course that never works out:quote:We finished our ride along program. Now they're telling us that only 9 demos counted because we had renters that watched the demo and didn't keep it or kept it. So they're refusing to give us our money. I feel like this was a scam. We did this program for nothing. I like the Rainbow but by no means is it worth $3498.00. So now they only communicate through email and won't listen. Very rude, refusing to give me the money that is owed to us.

Tell them you'll give them some time for their spiel, but first you want them to listen to your screenplay.

A girl I used to work with had a Kirby salesman give her and her husband the spiel, and they bought the vacuum. The guy said he'd start billing their card but it never happened so they got it for free. My grandma used to buy anything that anyone at her church was selling. When she died, there was a Rainbow and all it's attachments still boxed up in one of her closets. I threw it on eBay and got $2900, which is crazy. I've gone through like 3 Dysons, and they do lose suction over time, despite what the ads day. Now I just use my grandma's old Electrolux canister vacuum, because that thing can still suck the drywall off the studs. You have to buy the bags online, but you get like 200 bags for 10 bucks.

I've never understood why "No sorry not interested" while simultaneously closing the door isn't the default response for everyone when someone comes hawking. They should teach this in schools.

A few years ago two young (like 19ish) girls came to my house in the middle of nowhere and asked if I wanted to buy some magazine subscriptions. I told them I didn't have any cash and they said they'd get a bonus if we'd all drive to the ATM together and that's when I noticed they didn't have a car and looking back on it I think they were going to kill me.

Dysons are creaky lightweight plastic turds that cost $500 and break in 2 years. But they're expensive so they must be good

Skeleton Ape posted:Dysons are creaky lightweight plastic turds that cost $500 and break in 2 years. But they're expensive so they must be good Agreed. They do work really well in the beginning, and the attachments are all really handy instead of just one of two, so it's easy to get sold on them at first. When I bought my first one I also bought one for my mom and sister each. My mom and I have soured on them by now, but my sister is still hooked. She recently bought one of the ball ones and when I noticed it she said "look how easy it turns!" and then proceeded to nearly pull her arm out of socket trying to make it turn under the sofa like in the commercial.

Years back, I almost got a job as a Kirby salesman. The thing is that it wasn't so much a door-to-door job, in that you'd go to homes uninvited, but one that worked on leads. You would have them call you, you get loaded into a van, and go to their door and show them the vacuum cleaner and make the sale. At least that's what we were told, as I didn't even show up for that first day. Also, Kirby's have dedicated repair locations, they have to when you're buying a $4000 vacuum cleaner. However, most people would rather just buy a vacuum cleaner for $60-$100 and run it till it breaks.

Yes I wonder why the sort of grown adults who become born again Christians are susceptible to scams and MLMs. Correlation or causation you be the judge.

quote:An ex-friend, who is my neighbor, begged me continually to have the salesperson come over and do a demo. After cleaning my house extensively, the neighbor, the salesman and another man enter my home. I only said A salesman can come over... unsettling feeling begins. They start the Demo with checking out and commenting on the things in my home. He called me "HONEY" too and was quite flamboyant! (No ONE calls me HONEY!) quote:I met a lady at my place of work. Was super posh and a happy person altogether. I noticed multiple boxes in her car with bright colors and by this point I was comfortable enough to ask her what they were. She had been our customer for over a year and I would have liked to think we had that consumer company relationship most business strive for. She told me she sold Rainbow and would love to give me a presentation. She had mentioned something about a humidifier so I assumed that is what she was selling. We agreed to a time where she could come down and thus it started. She showed us the humidifier two days later and told us it was a gift. I was shocked, so sweet! Then she brought out the vacuum. We told her outright we were not going to get it. She insisted on showing us anyway. Not wanting to hurt her feels we agreed to see what it could do.

I just yell from the couch demanding them to identify themselves. If it is someone i invited over i let them in. Strangers or unexpected guest can go gently caress themselves.

MLM's prey on evangelical communities because said communities a: are comprised of extended family/friend networks, b: have an air of us-vs-them that translates well into one-weird-old-tip-THEY-dont-want-you-to-know, c: are full of marks will spend a lot of money to save Face. its a recipe for pyramid success
