Hard sell products

If a marketing person works very hard to sell you an expensive product, you have to be careful. Usually, it comes with a unsubstantiated claim that it can do you a lot of good.

You should ask the following questions:

* is this a genuine, good value product?
* how much is being paid to the marketing person?

There are many "hyped up" products, that are being marketed in this manner. Some examples are:

* time share
* gym membership
* slimming packages
* health supplements
* financial or investment schemes

If you have to spend a lot of money on the product, make sure there is a "cooling off" period. This will allow you to change your mind with 14 days and get your money back.
