The "Soft" Sale

The Used Car Salesman

In the sales world, a common technique used when trying to sell something is called a "Soft" sale.  A soft sale is when the person selling something tries to be overly gentle and polite, hoping that you will trust their sincerity and good intentions.  It is a sales technique because the salesman still is trying to extract as much money from you as possible.

 

GFES owners Kuhn and Vandersloot with the help of the expensive Seattle based union busting law firm have tried to do the same thing... only instead of money, they want to get a no union vote from you.

"Give Us 10 Months" and "We didn't realize how bad things were" are part of that soft sell.  "We will make things better", "I promise we will do better", "I promise things will get better", " We didn't know about all these problems" etc...

Don't they sound shocked and saddened?  Don't they deserve another chance?  Should you buy what they are selling because they are being genuine and kind?

When you look beyond the soft sell, you see the truth... the truth is that GFES is AFRAID of you voting for NEMSA!  They have invested time, effort, and considerable money to prove to you that you don't need NEMSA.  

That is why you do need NEMSA...  Will you buy the used car they are selling?  Or will you stand with your co-workers and choose a new path, a path that recognizes you as EMS professionals, a path that allows you to stand on equal footing with your employer and be treated fairly....  

Vote NEMSA!  You decide on May 22nd!   If you vote No, maybe Vandersloot will throw in fuzzy dice for the rearview mirror too!
