Howdy team! I'm Elijah Brzezinski I've been selling Verizon for 3 years. We are located in Louisville, KY. The funniest sales story is probably my first day on the job. Before I even started pitching, I had no idea what was going on. The very first door my trainer knocked on was answered by a Chinese man who was probably 140 years old. He didn't understand much English, but he knew a few words, such as "No good, price high, price low". Somehow my trainer wound up closing the deal, but we didn't have tablets to actually take orders, so he had to call into an order processing overseas. This old man brought a dining room chair out to put onto his stoop, and kept falling asleep in the chair. Every time he would fall asleep, he would lean back and hit his doorbell. He hit the doorbell 3-4 times and his wife came out screaming at him in Chinese. She would go inside huffing and puffing, the man would sit back down, and fall back asleep. This cycle repeated 3 times. Eventually, she moved the chair OFF the stoop and onto his walkup. He continued falling asleep as we were processing the order, and he wound up closing. I still had no idea what was going on. I thought my trainer did some type of magic. He talked about if customers are willing to work with you, you should be willing to work with them. We knocked 10 more doors. He stopped in the middle of an intersection and said "I think my Grandma lives over here". Then we went to his Grandmas house about half a mile away. I had only known this person one day, and already I saw him close someone who barely spoke English, and now I was sitting inside his Grandmas house. She was super nice, but INSISTED that I have something to drink. While we sat in her house, he called a referral from a few days ago over the phone. We sat for about an hour closing, and then he turned to me and asked if I had a phone charger. "No?" I said. " My phone is about to die. This is a $400 sale. I need you to run back to the car and go get my charger in my bag." He said.
