How to identify high pressure sales

[@carsondavis6074]

Me as a salesman I would love if a customer asked all those questions

[@ICBMCatcher]

These two are exactly the type of people who think it’s ok to engage a salesperson when they have no intention of buying anything ... just to gather information. They also strike me as the types that think any attempt to close a deal is high “pressure”. Top sales professionals don’t exert pressure _on_ a prospect, they generate it _in_ them. Keep pushin!

High pressure sales tactics during the sale of some kinds of products steals more than just our time. When the stakes are high sometimes it is better to block and then if that doesn't work then start pushing back.

What I don't understand is, if the sales guy is asking the right questions and seeing what it is I want, isn't he doing his job right? There's a lot of people that want to "think" about it. Well, what is it that you want to think about? Let me help you make the right decision with all of the available information. Some will look at that as high pressure but here's the fact, you walked into that place of business for a reason. I just get a laugh how this guy makes it sound evil lol

Exactly. I don’t understand how getting legitimate information, from the source is “high pressure”. I can see this argument if they came to you (phone call/door to door), but if you came to them, you’re the one wasting your (and their) valuable time by trying to be vague about something YOU actually want to buy. 🤷‍♀️

@@KarynLTapleyMDMBA it is high pressure, because you are using that information combined with, what gentleman here explained as authoritative and emotional "tactics" to essentialy manipulate one's mind.. i know it maybe sounds confusing, but it is actually pretty simple.. if you're interested i could give you a couple of seemingly innocent examples.. however, it is hard to get my point across because we are messaging, and the key to high pressure sales is body language and tonality.. tonality and body langauge are easy 80% of the sale edit: honestly, i dont look at "HPS" as something bad.. its jusy that people are stupid and they buy into your shit.. their problem.. its not that youre using someones physical flaws (blindness etc).. you just make their minds for them haha and by the way.. the tips this guy gives you.. not gonna work on someone who is really good at it, trust me, i know

I think it's condescending to act like the customer doesn't know what they want, and needs you to identify that for them. I personally take offence at that. However, there are a lot of simple people out there who do no research, and never know what they want. They need celebrities or salespeople to tell them what they want. So they are the targets for your condescension, and they end up overspending and in debt. Which you don't care about, at all.

[@tomzzx]

@@user-um7tw6kx4r6 Why would I care? I didn't hold them at gunpoint... And just so we are clear, you would take offence if you realized it

This is really cool! I feel like empowered.

[@jf8461]

Sounds like tactics used at multi-level marketing meetings, or timeshare sales meetings.

Just got off phone with high pressure salesman. I smelled it and felt it while on the call. This video confirmed several tactics used. I gave myself the permission to let the "opportunity" go. I figured that if I really want it, I can find another salesman to sell it to me. I asked several questions which did frustrate the salesman. After it was done, I felt emotionally dirty. I'm not exactly sure why. There was some manipulation in there though and the guy was emotional. I got a little emotional toward the end because he put words in my mouth and that upset me a bit. I confronted him; he apologized, but we both dismissed the call when I said I was not interested.

[@NMA_NoMoreAmmo]

Oh I just love to shut the door in front of door-to-door agency sales/survey person. Or tease them with tactical questions as long as it pleases me, and then refuse they offering by "sorry, got to go" or "sorry, can't help you" and so on.

[@ICBMCatcher]

That’s because you resent sales professionals ... you’re envious. We make 3X as much as you do in half the time. We live by our wits, set our own hours and have the backbone to play in the man’s game. You probably have a mountain of student debt, don’t even work in your field, get paid an hourly wage, hate your job ... and hate the fact you couldn’t sell something if your life depended on it.

[@engchoontan8483]

The other businesses use the opposite of high pressure sales tactics. The other camp of education, physical training, revenge, ... use time to verify. Step one = theory, verify theory, practice, review practice, review entire subset... Plus one step = step two = ... Enemies die while people verify information of step one

[@tomzzx]

but hey.. you cant say high pressure sales dont work (:

[@Octopussyist]

"I am going to engage you emotionally..." - how the fck am I supposed to sell anything without engaging them emotinally? When does anyone ever buy anything out of necessity? OK, you need to buy food at the supermarket - but nobody forces you to buy at this paricular store. If you don't like it you'll buy somewhre else. The customer is always emotionally engaged.

[@norawilkison8110]

I hate those high pressure techniques

[@ICBMCatcher]

This guy is simply regurgitating the nonsense he’s read in “sales” books. All theoretical BS ... not the way it works in the real world. I gotta go ... drink some coffee.
