How do you know if a Desi looking person is actually new to the country or has been here for a long time?
Another angle is it would be easier to fool a new immigrant into buying something....?

If I were a salesman, I'd make sure I built a good rapport with the desi customers so that when they ARE able to affod the merchandise, they come back and buy it from me.
The problem is most of them are there to make a quick buck till they find something in their field..........so if i was them i would concentrate more on potential buyers rather than spending time shooting shi* with non potential buyers and I dont care whether he is white or brown or green.
At the end of the day he or she has to put food on the table and building good rapport in the "present tense" would not serve any purpose. I know its wrong but when you look at it from a short term point of view. I am ok with it.
Best sales strike rate is 15%. If you are so cautious to choose your customer imagine what will be your strike rate.
Thumb rule....bigger data base, bigger actual sales. DesiTiger suggestion is correct....large customer base will get you more business.

We have a different way of thinking....I mean you and me.
If I had an hour to do something I would not mind spending 45 minutes making sure the facts, organising,planning and then only would I do it.
For eg........I'd rather sell 10 parts worth a 100 bucks then selling 1000 parts worth 1$. Bigger database necessary does not mean bigger sales.

True, however it is easier to sell 1000 $1 parts than it is to sell 100 $10 parts. Just a tip

Says who? Ask a salesman if you want to know which one would s/he prefer to sell.
You will need different sales approach to sell $1 parts compare to $10 parts. Neither is easier or tougher.

Don't need to, I own a business involved in Sales & Dsitribution. The fact is, a product with a lower price point will always be easier to sell than a product with a higher price point. ofocurse there are other factors involved like a product's utility, visual appearance, current consumer trends etc but this general rule of thumb still applies.

Truth is desis are the worst enimies for desis, desis stare at other desis as if they have done some crime
abcd/cbcd's dont like to get in the groups/friends with new desis cuz they think they r superior, the have a accent and they belong to elite class
admit it or not if you get interviewed by desi compared to gora u have less chances of making thru, the same desis would be nice and gentle to goras and when it comes to desi they act as if he is coming from low life
if goras come and say hello desis give out their wallet to them by smiling, making good faces when it comes to desi the first impression is yeh kahan se videsh aa gaya
i dont forget i am a desi but then i have faced everything
i am sure i wud see lot of anguish once this is being read
