WBT / e-learning / sales training:

Picture this situation: A customer on an ad–hoc basis enters your truck yard and you are watching him from your office as he parks his car and jumps out. What do you believe is critical when approaching a customer like this for the first time?

sporadisk kund
Explanation:
kund som handlar sporadiskt/tillfälligtvis..

ad hoc är ju ung motsatsen till regelbundet, ordningsbestämt, konsekvent m.m.
Inte känns det som helt "impeccable" på engelska att använda uttrycket som här...
