In the digital age we currently live in, we would be hard pressed not to find an answer to a burning question within seconds using google or other methods of online search. With that in mind, and the discussion in class recently about the sleezy salesman era dying out, I find it particularly refreshing thinking about the pivot towards relational, lower pressure salesmanship.

Reputation is everything and when there is a certain level of quality and sincerity added to a sale, people are more likely to take that approach positively, and less likely to be in defensive mode because they aren’t thinking they’re getting ripped off, and instead, the salesperson is helping to solve a problem… to ease a pain. With technology these days, it is way harder to rip someone off as well, which is obviously for the better.
