I am not a sales rep nor am I making excuses for them. What I'm saying is that respect is a two way street. If you want to be treated with respect, you have to be respectful as well. And wasting someone's time and costing him his honestly earned commission simply because you are too dumb/lazy to call ahead and schedule an appointment is plain disrespectful. The other salesperson was quite correct in telling this guy to deal with the guy he was speaking to previously - sales people are not supposed to poach clients from each other.

this is how cars are sold, not trying to tell people "buy or leave because my time is expensive".
What are you talking about? No one told him to buy or leave. He was merely asked to conduct his dealings with one salesman.
