Once in a while there are signs as you go through your presentation that you are being used, but usually there are none. Yes, you can feel bad, they stole your time. You could mention that to them, but it would not do any good. You can hope that they mention to a friend or neighbor that you do good work. That would be positive. All you can do is vent your spleen, as you have here and get back on the horse and ride it. There are better days. This happens to almost all sales people sooner or later.

I know how bad these type things hurt. Just remember this no matter how bad it hurts, you did the right thing and as always quality work. I wish for you ten people of quality for this one. Love you, Sylvia Sara

I do disagree with one thing you said. You said what they did was not wrong. The truth is it was wrong..they flat out lied to you. Would you have done all the work you did if they had told you the truth, probably, but at that point it would have been your choice. Sara

It's probably small consolation but working with people who have no problem lying to you like that wouldn't have been much of joy. Sarra

They should have at least offered to pay you something for your time, like a consulting fee. I've been down that same road before except many of those hours were spent showing them homes, wasting gas ($$$) and mileage on top of my valuable time only to have them change their minds about buying even though they insisted they were ready when I started with them (pre-qualification letter and all).
