Web sites are generally designed by computer geeks that strive to have the latest version of any and all software out there. But most of us (like all) don’t care about what software you are using, and sure as heck don’t need mommy telling us to upgrade our computer. We go there just to look at the stove to see if it’s something we might want. Not to be lectured about computer programs. It’s actually a big turn off when this happens, as I don’t look at the site, I close the window.

If you are selling something, don’t tell the customer his computer is junk or out of date. It really harms your sales.


I have my own carpet cleaning business, I don’t walk into a customers home and tell them their carpet is old. This is a sure way to not work and not make any money.


I just clean it and collect the check, smiling all the time.


If you want to sell stoves, get your web site to work with any computer so you can make a sale.

Don’t tell me what to do for my own good.
