Many years ago, I was at the mall with my mom and we walked past a kiosk with facial products and lotions.\u00a0 My mom briefly paused to look at something and the salesman immediately stated talking to us.\u00a0 He started explaining all his products and sampling them on us.\u00a0 He gave sample after sample and every time my mom said we needed to go he would ask to just show us one more quick product.\u00a0 He never asked us questions to find out what we were looking for or what we really needed.\u00a0 He seemed to be convinced that if he showed us enough products then eventually he would get to one we wanted.\u00a0 For all he knew we could have had sever allergies to some of the products.\u00a0 Every time he begged to show us another product he made us want to leave even more and made us less likely to buy something even if we did see something we wanted.\u00a0 He also made weird and uncomfortable comments about how my mom looked so young and looked like she could be my sister.\u00a0 He kept us for about 10 minutes which feels like an eternity at a mall kiosk that you’re trying to get away from.\u00a0 When we finally got away, we had no desire to ever go back to buy a product even if it was something we really wanted.\u00a0 Something to learn from this salesman is to ask questions and listen, and don’t try to talk about yourself if a prospect wants to leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
