A Sign that Sells

How often do you hear "It's a sign - his hair is brown, I'm suppose to marry him." or "It's a sign, I'm wearing blue and that puppy has blue eyes- I am suppose to have him."? We can think of all kinds of reasons to do or not to do things. This cosmic theory that somehow our destiny is being told to us through "signs" is a common one. Whether we believe events that occur in our lives tell us the path we should take or not, this week we've found that they certainly might help when selling a used car.

Sonny greeted a couple looking at a Mercedes on our lot just last week. They seemed impressed by the car, took it for a test drive, and after handing the keys back told Sonny, "we'll let you know." Saying "goodbye", Sonny went back to his office and his customers went to their car. While sitting by the security camera feed, he watched as the Mercedes customers sat. They sat, and sat in their car. After awhile Sonny decided there must be something wrong, so he walked out and gently knocked on their window, asking them, "is everything okay?"

"Oh, ya, we're just looking up some comparison prices on our phones. No big deal." They responded.

"Ok, sounds good, let me know if you need anything." Sonny left them to sit in their car. He returned to his office and watched as they sat some more.

Eventually, they exited their car, and came into the building. After greeting them again, they explained to Sonny that their car would not start. "We've decided it is a sign, we want to buy your Mercedes."

It looks like the cosmic world aligned for all parties involved. They got a great car for an awesome price, and we got a chance to move some inventory and make space for more "signs" in hopefully a lot more customer's lives.
