I was looking at a service. I initially talked with a guy at location A (near my home). He was great, did a good job of selling me on the service. I wasn't ready to purchase.

Today, I went to Location B to check the service out at that location (closer to work).the girl did a good job of selling me on the product, but I was already kinda sold. She definitely took charge of like "I'm going to be the one to sign you up."

They both would deserve commission I think the first person probably deserves it more. Anyway they can both win out?

Can only be one winner. Pick the one that was most helpful.

What's the commission on that? $25?

go with the prettier of the two. If the first rep didn't close the deal, too bad. #2 sounds like she tried harder.

I don't know. I'd imagine $50-$100 on most members.

I took this a different way, I have two places that bill by the hour like to ramble and think you are mad when you cut their arse off mid sentence.

I think one did the best job by far. I just wasn't sure where I'd be living yet. He was much more personable, much more in-depth, gave me a much better rundown on options. The only thing the girl did was email me immediately and had no charm or caring like the other guy.

You are way overthinking this.

How about going with the option which provides what you want/need for the best price?

Why are you making this about which sales person "did a better job"?

Sounds like A deserves the commission, but will he even know if you sign up with B? And are you more likely to see B at the closer location whenever you use the facilities?

Anyone can talk to you about a product. Very few know how to close.

Call them both back and say you have a good offer from the other is there anything better you can do?

If you can't make a decision then they both did a shitty job.
