Probably not that often.
That’s where persuasion comes in. Some deals are easier to close than others, but all sales conversations will involve some degree of persuasion -- even if both salesperson and buyer know your offering is the best choice.

It’s not easy -- if persuasion were simple, far more than one-third of all salespeople would make quota. But adopting the techniques below can make you more convincing, and influence prospects to buy....

Consumers shopping for freebies? Or marketers assuming so?

Consumers shopping for freebies? Or marketers assuming so? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

It’s a pretty common lament online amongst brand marketers that the market is so spoilt by those offering everything free to the consumers, that there’s hardly anybody wanting to purchase anything at all.


Now we all know that isn’t true, because research every year points to fast growing volumes of internet selling and buying, and the trend seems only more increased with mobile now becoming the medium of choice for even more buying and selling than before. Could it be that it’s not really the customers online who are window shopping for freebies, and it’s the marketers who are assuming that customers want things free and will not pay?...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

How can online sales be booming year on year if all that customers really want is freebies? Are marketers making wrong assumptions on consumer psychology?

Read on to understand the science behind why you can’t resist a sale....
