Pressure selling: "Yes, you can leave once the paperwork is done"
Creating the impression that the consumer cannot leave the premises until a contract is formed.
A boat trip from hell…
Jan and Marijke, an elderly couple from Amsterdam, were on vacation in the Mediterranean. They took a pleasant boat trip to some offshore islands to look at some holiday homes. They saw a home that they liked but told the estate agent that they wanted to think about it. Just when they were about to return to the mainland, however, the estate agent demanded that they sign a contract to hold the property. It seemed like he wouldn't bring them back until they signed. Since it was getting late, the couple had to catch an early flight the next morning and it seemed like the only way off the island, they reluctantly signed the contract.
