Is It Better to Sell EXCITED or Relaxed?

You live in one of the most deregulated first world market places in the planet.

Global recession for a decade, anyone?!?

Youre being quite judgemental, and i've killed plenty. I do fundamentally agree with what you are saying on some level, but you dont walk around naked, just because you are proud of your body.

I admire your idealism, but manipulating people for their benefit is a funny little phrase. I like it, but ive sold turds before, sold loans to people who could well lose their house, and sold products that will cost people more than if theyd just done it themselves.

Even if you sell insurance, youd need to be flat out delusional to pretend to yourself it will benefit most people. Peace of mind maybe, but most people arent going to need a lot of the insurance they have, and effectively we are handicapping the chance that they do, and then profiting from the chance that they dont.

I doubt youd turn down a sale, just because they dont really need it, or fully advise customers on the nature of the game youre in. You are putting out your best bits, like a regular street girl, with a needle itch.

I enjoy your response, but its naive and judgemental on a level you dont seem to see, and I like it because its usable as a mantra of sorts, not because its some kind of moral absolute. The easiest sale of my day, was the one the mcdonalds burger flipper made to me at lunch time, and if he had said that to me "Our job IS to manipulate people FOR THEIR BENEFIT", I would have laughed in his face.

That sounds very nice, but real talk, regulations make the sharks swim away. I know first hand when theres blood in the water, they will come back and eat. Theres been numerous examples of this when respectable companies put bonuses before long picture reputation, and go for all out sales generation. They got in trouble for it afterwards, but the bottom line is respectable selling cant compete with sharks in a vacuum. Big picture, its better for the brand to have a sustainable respectable image. Little picture, your polite, consultative (or in the case of my job) non advisory sales, get eaten up. The consumer push back is legit, but Id still put my money on a shark over a shepard, on any given day. The one thing i would say is if someone is trained or used to restrained selling, and then is given free license, they would be fierce, because they already have the discipline, so long as they arent lacking the teeth.

You won't succeed trying to sell something you don't believe in.

You should quit, or believe that you've got something GREAT for your clients... and that they would be foolish NOT to buy it.

If you don't feel that way, you are doing yourself, your customers, and your industry a disservice.

You should quit. Or you can prove me wrong.

It's up to you.

woh, i stumbled into psychology forums...

You come in here today and start these threads asking for help and each time, you ended up telling everyone how great you are.

What was your ulterior motive with these different threads? Just curious.

 

[DHK]

Uh... yep. Sales is psychology. That's what we do.

My guess is that joe90 belongs to a salesman union in the U.K.

Whether he increases his sales... or not... it doesn't matter.

If you want to learn about capitalism... there a college that offers FREE education in capitalism and the US Constitution.

i dont like it when people try to boy people up. go chase the exchange. im not the one who gets judgemental on people.

taxing you for your opinion, dont warrant deference. i have a natural allergy to people who expect others to fawn before them, calling those who dont "a narcissist" whilst residing in the fattest nation on earth and capitalist capital of the world. gimme a break. Do you want to try communism with me?

Honestly, i appreciate everything you guys say, but that doesnt invalidate my right to have an opinion, or to defend myself when attacked by strangers 1000s of miles away, who are sipping on lattes, while some poor kid in china is serving outsourced slavery for their latest footwear.

moralising salesmen are best off selling religion, imho.

no, a baccalaureate in psychology is psychology. thats what i did.

my guess is you are using ad hom, because you ran out of quips, and the felt harsh verbal bullets and irony i be trading.

The difference between me and you, is this conversation is amusing to me, but you seem to take yourself, far to seriously.

I am weighing up what time I need to go to bed. You probably wont sleep tonight.

Actually, you were quite judgmental on DHK.

Anyway, I love your country and God Save the Queen. Next time you're in the States, lets have a lager.
