Left my phone at home by mistake today. When I got back there was a voice message from the BMW salesman who demoed the 320GT for us in August. He remembered March as a time I might make a decision and called to remind me about factory holidays and other reasons to order one now.
He also said very clearly - as he did after the demo - that he was keen to do a deal and would make sure he did the very best for us.
Now this may be sales blather, but I've not heard it quite like this before. Certainly it's nothing like the style I got from his colleague at another branch who sold me the 325. So perhaps he's a salesman in the second half of his year - and now very near the end of it - with a target to hit. Perhaps customers really are delaying big decisions until it's clear how much the Brexit fiasco will cost them (as, in fact, am I, since I don't yet know whether I'll get a bonus at all for 2016). Perhaps this has always just been his style. Seems surprising to me, though. What does the team think?
