I just started a new job doing sales, so I want to ask. What makes you buy something off a sales person? besides what they are selling.

in the hope that they will go away forever

You have to get them to like & trust you

If they promise to throw themselves off the nearest bridge!!! Just kidding! Good luck though...

I know this won't be much help, but I can't stand when someone bugs me to buy something, so I haven't ever bought anything from a sales person.

Anyways, good luck with your job! :)

I sell for a living...I try hard to make sure they are having fun making their purchase...personality sells! Good luck to you!

You're not selling them anything, you're helping them buy it...

crack??

I get a lot of help buying. lol! too much!

I do throw my personality in the mix an I love what I am doing/selling. its a great product! I am still learning all the lil tricks, cant wait to make me 1st sell

You have to convince them that they need it. That they will benefit from whatever it is you are selling them.

They need to feel that they can trust that you are looking out for their best interests.

Know your product

Gosh, my Mom always bought from the sweet talking' good-lookin' guys!

ahh now thats something I can use. thank you

Just remember one thing...once you get them to the point of purchase...STOP SELLING IT AND BRING IT HOME!

If they don't follow me around like a shark, I'm more likely to go find the first one that greeted me when I came in. I like to take my time and look around without feeling like they are taking every step I am.

Know what you're talking about and what type of person you're dealing with. Don't lie or make **** up- they'll know it. Get them to drop their guard by talking about something besides the sale- get them to like you.

if you are friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and show a real interest in helping them obtain the best choice for their situation then they will want to interact with you and give you their business.

if you can present at least 3 advantages that one of your product/service has over the competing product/service then it will be a strong selling point for choosing the option you offer.

1. affability
2. availability
3. ability

in that order.

the product I am sell does help people, the FDA approves of it an it changes peoples lives! it is alil pricy but I think its worth it. I am still learning about the product.

Greet them....ask them if there is anything you can help them with...if they say no...say well make yourself at home.....watch them from a distance.........give them about 15 minutes.... then go back to them and ask them if you can help them now.....if they say yes.....then sell them the product.....know your product inside and out.....don't over kill.....after some sale pitching....excuse yourself....give them some more time.....and then go back to them and ask them if there is anything else you can help or if they have anymore questions you can help them with ...I don't know what you're selling....I use to be in carpet sales.....it is great and you have to have the gift of gab.....not only sell them the product but make them feel like you are thier friend.....
