Saying no to an aggressive sales pitch

You walked into Best Buy to buy one thing. Brad in blue is now three minutes into pitching protection plans, HDMI bundles, and extended warranties. You just want to pay and leave.

Heads up — this person will push back.

The point is not to win. It is to stay clear and calm under realistic friction.

🎬 The scene starts here

B

Brad — Electronics associate, 25

Upbeat, on commission

“Nice pick! Now, for what you're doing with this — you're gonna want the Geek Squad protection plan, plus we've got an HDMI bundle that's actually a great deal today only. Want me to ring that up together?”
What you are trying to do

Your objective

Say no clearly — as many times as it takes. Don't justify. Don't over-explain. You can be warm about it.

What good looks like

You said no at least twice without giving a long reason. The sale happened at the price you wanted.

Difficulty

Friendly but busy. Be specific or they move on. Recommended.
