He walked into my booth wearing a Brooks Brothers Suit,$300.00 Shirt,Manicured Nails, $200.00 Haircut and Shoes so polished that you could see yourself in them. He had a subtle smell of very expensive cologne about himself. You could tell he was in command of his universe (or so he thought).
I welcomed him into my booth and made small talk as he browsed among my latest works of art. As I looked at him an old song by the OJays came to my mind(Money,Money,Money,Moneeeeey)<smile> Through our conversation I learned that he wanted to buy several large pieces for his home.
Eventually he selected several pieces that totaled $6000.00 and he wanted to have the frame changed on one of the pieces.I told him I would have to check with my framer. He said fine because he had to leave but would“be back” the following day to pay and pick up the pieces.
I had not had a large sale in a while and I was thinking of what I was going to do with the money,pay some bills,buy a new dress and might even get a manicure and pedicure. I was thinking of these things as I talked with my framer and they were happy to tell me that they had the exact frame that I wanted. I was as happy as feedlot Cattle in a thousand acres of oats.lol
The next day he never showed up.
How would you have handled this situation?
Tell me your “Be Back” story.
