Passive Aggressive car dealer email made me laugh today.

[yagoparamo]

Is not about negotiating, I negotiate when I buy chewing gum if I see an opening, is the attitude that we don't deserve to get paid and that people like you have the right to decide how much I get paid for the work that a sales person does.

Even worse is the look down with comments allegating that we get paid for "just pushing a few buttons"

It may have been removed since it include the sales person and dealers contact info. If I get the chance, I'll blur out and repost. Until then, here it is.

Passive aggressive? I don't get that from this email. Slight frustration due to the fact of not hearing back from the consumer - probably.

@Jeff, thanks dude! ....so where's the passive-aggressiveness? @eddyshaf is right, it looks like a final or 10+ day email, which most of the time is there to check the weather. The "if theres something i done to offend you" and "Could it be me" is a little weird for a dealer email, but I see no problem with the latter.

A simple "not interested" reply would eliminate their need to show their desperation to you.

I see nothing at all wrong with this email. Unfortunitly the common trend with clients is to put in an inquiry and then just never respond no matter what you say. Heck over half of all emails sent are never even opened/read by the consumer.

Neal,

I would love to know the context of the email........

did you email them then never respond?

did you go to the store and make false promises?

nobody send that email out without some action taken by you..............

 

[William Bryant]

Desperate.... It looks desperate....

Is that a form letter to ALL customers that don't respond, or, is that a personal reply? If it's personal, then the rep is replying to a shopper that is playing mind games.

Buyers are Liars.

p.s. notice there are 2 camps in this thread.

#1). I've never sold cars for a living.
#2). I sold cars for a living.

If you're a vendor and #2 is not on your resume, be cautious of your shopper-based conclusions.

@JoePistell

I don't disagree with you that there are 2 words playing together in this thread, but you can still give respect regardless of where you are. That goes beyond the car business.

Yago,

I am stunned at your reply. I had no dis-respect intended to anyone what so ever. It was simply an observation. If you're a vendor and you've not sold cars for a living, be cautious about your shopper-based conclusions. I said that because I see it all the time.

If I offended you or anyone else, please accept my apologies. It was not my intent.
