Hey OP Paul: still with us?

I think, like most customers, he left when you told him that what he
wanted to buy was not what he should be buying.

A sad fact of Sales work is that telling the customer the truth about
his real needs vs. his perceived often leads to losing the sale; just
selling him what he thinks he wants lacks integrity (but benefits the
bottom line).

BTDT in the service industry, in people's homes.
You gotta learn to tap dance. Or soft shoe, or tango, or (etc.) while
making dang sure you're correct about what needs to be done.
