I sell solar. I have sold ONE Indian ever. Ever. Dude didnt go with me initially. He chose another company but cancelled because their warranty wasnt transferrable. Omg I told him that and specifically pointed it out because he was selling in 8 years. He signed and saw the fine print and then came back. Every other one has been a waste of time.
That and the haggling no matter the price. You end up spending more time and making less money with them. I don't work for free. I've had clients who live in expensive homes and drive luxury cars and still want steep discounts on even the smallest of things. They always try to say they're going to get you more business by referring you to all of their family, who also want steep discounts. No thanks.
If your item is let's say $100 , an Indian customer will come and meet you with a mindset of $50 for the deal . Their tactics 1. Asking multiple questions about the product , including ridiculous questions as if you invented the product. 2. They will touch every inch of the product , making sure every single part is working . That is fine for being meticulous. 3. They will find something negative to comment about the product , again as if the seller designed & manufacture the product . 4. Finally they act innocently asking about your selling price which they already knew in mind. That's when they will give you a lowball offer . My tactic is simple , give them my final offer example $90 is my let go price , let's cut to the chase take it or leave it . If they negotiate some more i will show them to the door. Don't waste my time, but thanks for coming. 5 out of 10 times they will buy , because they do not want to waste the traveling cost which already incurred .
There are thousands of articles about it online. They only spend money in their own Indian circles. They hate America and Americans. We are pigs to them. Lost people the call us. Eternally doomed for eating their beef!
This is the type of manager that unnecessarily blames the Salesman for not closing a deal because he believes that there a precise set of behaviors that will guarantee a sale every time that the Salesman did not do.
Yadda yadda yadda sitting face 2 face w/ ANY indian customer triggers my anxiety because as you say “their way of buying” is basically to screw you out of the entire bid. Idc how thick the accent is; money especially written down speaks loud and clear. They’ll b*tch and want 1/2 the bid like my overhead is a charity so i gave up on traditional methods and literally price high asf w/ NO EMOTION.
Yup I once took a service originally in my price book for 295 I wrote 495 on a paper. Indian client said come on buddy I had someone do this a few years back do it for $250. Complete BS so I told him ok with inflation let’s call it $295 and I’ll do it right now. Dude was hella happy. But I sold it at book price $295 I always start high and you can be straight forward light weight rude to them and they don’t care. When I get a cheap one I always say ok I’ll start packing my tools and say my diagnostic fee of $89 will you be paying check or card. Then they say come on man and I’ll tell them this my number give me a reasonable counter or I’ll walk away. They will fold but I always keep it fast and simple repairs and I’m out no crazy quick and out.
I had a 3hr conversation to sell an alarm and 1hr about religion, in the end he shook my hand and we came to terms we agreed on. He ended up just calling in and getting it over the phone and I had the account Arbitrated to my name. Long story short when an Indian person opens the door I just say “sorry wrong house”
I live in a neighborhood mostly Indian not all are like that but most of them never want to buy what I sell like I was selling snacks and drinks no one wanted to buy even when they’re rich and some of them are rude when I ask like when I tried to sell candy a guy said no rudely and I didn’t say anything back I just want to make money anyone have any advice on how to sell in my neighborhood
Hi Thanks for this video. I am an English Teacher who offers a bespoke English language program to Healthcare professionals from India. I had an experience today when someone had arranged a strategy meeting with me but when I spoke to them they appeared to say that they didn't need my service. Despite this he wanted me to finish my pitch and seemed confused when I was confused as to whether he was actually interested in my course. Do you think it's possible that he had almost taken a "defensive position and almost expected me to enter a negotiation process with him?"
Indian consumers are very cost-conscious. Put customer service, product quality, and other considerations out of your mind. Instead, focus on squeezing your margin down to the lowest possible level and be prepared for a high volume of refund requests.
I see a lot of comments from salesmen that they don't like selling to Indians they don't buy stuff anyway. Yes they're difficult customers nobody will doubt that, and yes they are discourteous in that they waste your time. But they have money, money that you want. If you are okay with missing that sale, good you can be happy with a few thousand less in your commissions but if you want to maximise what you earn, there's a fortune to be made with these people, because they value trust and friendship and are excellent customers in the right circumstances.
You can also maximize without them. It's not like you're going to befriend many of them, and you mention friendship is something they value well looking down is not friendship to me
when i see my customer indian face or indian name i rather not do the business . Time can be spent on someone else. 9 out of 10 of them will come with a rip you off mindset . So it's not worth my time
Yo I’m an Indian and running my business in North America. I don’t prefer Indian customer - they always have lowest price offer. I simply deny and say this is my last price. Do not try to convince or give a discount. I know I’m leaving money on the table. I would rather wait for the right customer who values the products i sell.
I own a termite and pest control company in los angeles and WHENEVER I GET AN INDIAN CALL FOR PRICING I JUST TELL THEM TO SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE😂😂. Btw guys i have come to this strategy after atleast 1 thousand indian customer that i have serviced for bugs and ONCE ITS TIME TO COLLECT PAYMENT they always ask for a discount of atleast 70%😂 im not lying its true so for me doing business with them is just a waste of my time. LET ME BE CLEAR, THEY ARE CHEEEEEEAAAP😅
Indians will buy of you after they have done their research and are satisfied with the amount of research they've done and they will come to you to buy... don't cold call or warm call them they will waste your time and extract information from you for their research... and sell to them if they say they want to buy this product now
if you say the price is 500000 the indians ask it for 5 rupees and the vendor typically die and get angry just useless do not try to bring value to us we dont deserve anything...
Rule 1: pre qualify....don't waste time on people that don't respect your time. Rule 2 : if you have no leads or the sales floor is empty and only 1 indian around. work them hard you will improve your sales skills. Be firm and have a commanding voice don't go into detail or feel like you have to explain your self. Let them know you have big balls and not going to put up with with there BS. Be nice of course but firm. They do buy and they make a lot of money most of them make 6 figure salaries. But it took me about 1 year to figure them out. Engage with them smile have fun during the negotiating process, be firm but fair. Dont explain your self or say you will give discounts for nothing. They have to give you something in return. For example buying more products not just 1. Joke with them and don't budge on your deal. Set the record straight and make things clear and concise. When you say your price let them know that is final and you will not BS. I work in one of the highest Indian populations in the USA. Frisco TX. Its very tough at first but don't waste your time if other leads are around American customers are way better. But if you have the time work them without sacrificing time to get other leads that are better. Tag price things higher then normal. If you sell something normally at $100...tag it at $150 now you have room to negotiate and ONLY negotiate if they are will do buy a package deal. Never discount 1 item by itself. Its not fair to sell an item at dif prices to dif people but if you buy more I am willing to negotiate.
its been 1 year since i first watched this. Indian Customers have continued to be the most unreasonable when trying to work with their budgets. They give you all the compliments in the world:yours so nice, youre very knowledgable blah blah blah but still rarely pull the trigger when you ask for the business. im not interested in selling something to someone not interested in buying..
You can't. People will automatically assume you are a scam artist. The odds are against you just like it will be impossible to sell you a car. You'd call me an asshole if I came to your gas station and tried to haggle for a tank of regular unleaded. You could be in a bathroom stall with no toilet paper, I could have it for a penny, and you would choose your hand to wipe.
Just come in with a higher price first then meet them at what you really wanted anyway. They just need to feel like they got a deal.

Biggest tyre kickers hey
It’s up to them to adapt to our culture, I don’t care about losing them as customers as they’re rude anyway.
Most mediocre salesmen don't mind leaving money on the table. Keep going👍👍
@@PrateekJain-pi9jc I couldn’t care less, I don’t make extra
Facts lol

If you want $90 start at $120
All they do is ask stupid questions and they never buy

100%
😂😂😂😂
1000000000 % spot on
I call BS. Language isn’t the problem. Shift focus on being cheap is the 2nd point of national pride, after Cricket.

Wait so after you spent 4 hours with him he bought from someone else?
When an Indian person says they need 100 units they mean 1 lol

Glad to help. Please call us or submit an inquiry on our website.
What do you sell?
You can't. People will automatically assume you are a scam artist. The odds are against you just like it will be impossible to sell you a car. You'd call me an asshole if I came to your gas station and tried to haggle for a tank of regular unleaded. You could be in a bathroom stall with no toilet paper, I could have it for a penny, and you would choose your hand to wipe.
No
