I understood why we had to do it, and in truth, it did get pretty nature to robotically say something like "Want another one for $5?"<br /><br />And then there was a creative way to get people to buy two pizzas...someone would call up and ask "What's the special?" And I could just say, "Two medium one-topping pizzas for $13.99", because the first one's $8.99 and the second one's five bucks. Go figure.<br /><br />The suggestive sell that I remember most, as a customer, came when I was picking up some Mickey Dee's in the drive-thru:<br /><br />MICKEY DEES GUY: Help you? <i>(Not 'May I help you', or 'Welcome to Mickey Dee's'...just 'Help you?')</i><br /><br />ME: I'll have a double cheeseburger combo meal with Coke, please.<br /><br /><i>(Thirty seconds of dead silence elapse.)</i><br /><br />ME: Hello?<br /><br />MICKEY DEES GUY: Want a pie?<br /><br />ME: Er...what?<br /><br />MICKEY DEES GUY: Pie. Apple. Want one?<br /><br />ME: Uh...no.<br /><br />MICKEY DEES GUY: OK, pull forward.<br /><br />I'm sure that fellow had a bright future ahead of him.Kelly Sedingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704114189919711467noreply@blogger.com
