However, selling is a very broad and complex thing. Just imagine how many times you have sold your concepts, arguments, excuses...
When you managed to get a discount on the market. When your parents forgave you for being late. When you convinced your partner to watch the comedy instead of the romantic movie. Sales is about persuading the other about that you are right, and your offering is the best overall. You would have different structure for retaining/acquiring a customer, for a arguments with a man/ a woman (when they are purchasing a car: d), for a candy or a low-carb fruit yogurt) and even in the same category, everyone differentiates...
I guess the best solution is to read more:) and get professional in the category you are in.:). |
