Selling Medical Services; Or Why Doctors Don’t Do Sales Talk
Nobody likes it when they buy something that they consider a “negative.” Yes, people do buy products or sign up for services because they need a problem solved or an issue handled. However, in many of these cases, the choice to do so is entirely in their hands. There’s no external force that’s hard-selling things to them. Unlike when people are buying dinner at a fancy restaurant, paying for
Questions for a House Buyer
Making purchases are not always a tough decision to do – you see the item, pull out your wallet or credit card, and call it yours. But that’s not the case if what you’re trying to buy is a house. For one, it involves a great deal of money. Another reason is that it’s something that you have to deal with for practically your whole life. Given these reasons, it’s just right to think abou
Reverse Psychology as a Sales Tool
Reverse psychology is a funny thing, largely because it seems like it shouldn’t work. Telling someone that something doesn’t agree with them shouldn’t lead to them impulsively buying what that thing, right? Well, barring cases where it is definitely a professional opinion – does anyone think doctors use reverse psychology when prescribing medication? – it does actually work. It is possible to
Business Lessons from Pro Wrestling
Professional wrestling is a business, though a lot of people tend to willfully ignore that in favor of watching two men pretend to beat the living daylights out of each other. Considering that the biggest companies it has ever seen (WWE, WCW, and arguably the old ECW) had global reach and audiences, it is hard to argue that they are a very successful business.

The Hard Part about Selling Medication
Some products can be sold all year-round. No matter what time of year it is, when a computer breaks down, people will likely be trying to find a replacement as soon as they can. Some products don’t have that luxury and only sell well – or at all – during certain times of the year. Nobody buys winter coats in the middle of summer or string bikinis during the coldest winter in decades. Then there are produc
Finding Selling Points for Real Estate
Selling real estate can be a challenge, considering how different it is from a service or a different type of product. A service can be demonstrated, so the customer gets an idea what they’re in for. Potential buyers can be given a product as a sample to look at or test, giving them a very tangible thing to help them consider.

Sell To a Skeptic
There are few things in the sales world that are as satisfying and as difficult as selling a product to a skeptic. A reluctant buyer can be convinced that the sale is a good idea. A customer who is willing to wait before purchasing a product can be assured that a purchase right now is better than one coming later. Someone who is uncertain of a product’s qualities can be reassured of what they’re getting
Grace and Composure under Pressure
“I’m not interested.”
“No, thank you.”
“I’ll think about it.”
You sure are familiar with these lines. These are the most-heard lines from customers who don’t have even a shallow inkling to buy your offering. Isn’t it disheartening? I am certain that your confidence goes down the drain whenever you hear these words. However, your world as a salesman shouldn’t stop revolving when your ears catch
