Original –

I think most of people think Chinese salesman must use some techniques, to let others to trust him. But sometimes sales  must lie to the client, but I don’t think so, it’s just my way. Many salesmen like to, for example, if they have some product is not good enough, he will lie to the client, oh it’s a perfect product, and he will promise a lot to his customer. When the deal is done, because the sales has done the job, so it’s none of their business of the sales.

Correction –

Most people must think Chinese salesmen have to use some techniques, to let others trust them. And sometimes salesmen think they must lie to the client, but I don’t agree with that, it’s just my way. Many salesmen like to mislead the client. For example, if they have some product which is not good enough, they will usually lie to the client, saying, “oh it’s a perfect product,” and they will often make empty promises  to their customers. When the deal is done, even if there is a dispute, the salesmen will ignore it, because it’s no longer their problem.
