Some time last week I was alone at Gurney Plaza, intended to buy some stuffs for DARL’s family. When I was walking around, I saw a property roadshow at the Centre Atrium, by Ivory Properties Group. As DARL has been looking for an apartment for himself, I went into the roadshow area and had a peek.
I saw this project, The Peak. I have actually seen the signboard along the road on my way back home for a few times but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I stood in front of the boards with extremely limited information, trying to figure out the exact location and other informations.
The map was… really brief. Information was really limited. I turned around trying to look for someone to talk to but no one was interested to attend to me. Some of the salespersons were more interested to stand outside of the exhibition area to grab more passerby, instead of an already potential buyer standing inside the exhibition area.
I turned back and looked at the limited information again. Plenty of the units were already reserved. I roughly calculated. It took one of the sales lady to come and talk to me after around 20 minutes of staring at nothing.
She asked me if I know the location. I said I know where it turned into as I am staying there, but I wasn’t very sure of the exact location. She started to talk about the ‘main selling points’ for a typical salespersons, eg: how much per square foot, now discount how many percent, etc.. Not that I wasn’t interested in the promotions. It’s just that if I am going to fork out 300k for something, shouldn’t I be given more detailed information, for instance, the features, estimated date of completion, developments around the area, etc.?
I asked for brochures with more info so I could take back and discussed with DARL, and apparently they only had a brochure with very limited info, just like what you can see in the roadshow. -.- I said I’ll have to wait for DARL to come back and have a look, this lady, at her late 30′s or early 40′s, probably noticed that I wasn’t going to buy on the spot, replied in a rather cold way while looking at another directions:
“Nowadays with mobile phone, you can just call him up. Very easy nia.”
I was like, what the H. -.- Don’t you feel it’s ridiculous to ask you customer to make decision on a few hundred thousands of transaction through phone?
