How NOT to sell a Mobile Phone.

Met up with a friend for lunch today. He was showing off his new mobile phone and sharing a SET about the store he bought it from.

Apparently, the Sales Clerk wanted to demonstrate the high-quality graphics on the phone. One might think he'd bring up a picture of a flower, or some other generic photo or video that's probably on there already, right?

He pulled up a porn video. And apparently one that was fairly graphic at that.

Funny thing is, even after he (and several other people who were also looking at the phone) went screaming to the manager, he still decided to buy it anyway. I mean I guessed it did get the point across, but really? :rolleyes:

Oh wow.

After selling phones for three years and not once in my life would I have EVER thought of doing this. Not even close to a good idea.

That is one way to sell phones at a porn convention.

Porn conventioneers would probably be more interested in acquisition rather than display.
