And when they discover you are so honest you would rather lose a sale than tell a lie they will come back over and over. Eventually they will buy something and that is your chance to make them a customer for life.
He called it making a slow dime instead of a fast nickel.

I love to deal with companies like this one.
When my business was slow during a previous recession, I became a new car salesman. I refused to play all the lying games that are common in that industry. Most of my deals were with a $50 flat commission, but I got referrals, and sold 18-23 cars a month. I made my money on volume. I no longer sell cars, and have returned to my former profession.
