Salesman convinces man to spend ₹20,000 in just 15 minutes. Here’s what happened
A LinkedIn user's story of how a salesman convinced him to buy products worth ₹20,000 has prompted people to post varied reactions.
A LinkedIn user took to the platform to share how a salesman convinced him to spend ₹20,000 in just 15 minutes. In his post, he mentioned that he went to the shop to buy only one bag, but with the help of a dedicated salesperson, he ended up buying a lot more. That’s not all, to a wholesome surprise, the person working at the shop was ‘no ordinary employee’ but turned out to be the co-founder of an ‘Indian tech accessories and lifestyle brand’.
LinkedIn user Pranay Loya shared this story. “A salesman convinced me to spend ₹20,000 in just 15 minutes! As I entered the store in Cyberhub, Gurgaon, searching for an office bag, I couldn't help but notice the salesman's dedication. Jokingly, I said, 'Aap ye product toh aise bech rahe ho jaise apki company hai!' (You are selling products as if it is your company). Until one of the guys pointed out that the salesman was no ordinary employee. He was Pankaj Garg, the co-founder of DailyObjects, an Indian tech accessories and lifestyle brand with over ₹100 crore in annual revenue,” he wrote.

You bump into celebrities and startup founders randomly at unexpected places!” Loya wrapped his post with a few images of the store and his purchase.
