minus-squareFat Tony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·1 year agoIsn’t the whole idea of the pen sale pitch that you basically have to ignore the pen?
minus-squareSatanicNotMessianiclinkfedilinkarrow-up43·1 year ago Pen boy : Do not try and sell the pen. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth. Neo : What truth? Pen boy : There is no pen. Neo : There is no pen? Pen boy : Then you’ll see, that it is not the pen that sells, it is only yourself.
minus-squareImplyingImplications@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoYes. As long as the answer doesn’t focus on the pen itself then it’s a good answer.
minus-squareRickyRigatonilinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSo my answer of “Buy this pen or I’ll follow you home and kill your dog” won’t get me the job?
minus-squarepulaskiwasrightlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoDon’t ignore the pen. Ask the customer questions to make them realize they could benefit from the pen and then enthusiastically describe how the pen benefits them. So don’t ignore it, but don’t go down a spec sheet of the pen either.
