In my next few posts, I am going to explore 10 questions that you should ask a:

• Potential employer (10 Questions to Ask a Potential Employer)
• Potential spouse (10 Questions to Ask a Potential Spouse)
• Salesperson
• Potential client
• Potential employee

With this post, I will look at salespeople.  Here are the specific questions I would start with:

1. Do you use it or own it?
2. Is it warrantied?
3. Is it guaranteed?
4. Who services it?
5. Are there upgrades or options available?
6. Are there discounts available?
7. When does it go on sale?
8. Are there any other items needed?
9. Who else has bought it?
10. Can you provide references?

Not happy with an answer-- ask again.   Still not happy?  Don't buy from them! 

What would you ask?
