When you're selling a product or service, you have two main methods to choose from. You need to decide whether you want to use the hard-sell(强行推销) method or a soft one.1.Let's take a look at the difference between the two to determine which one is right for your business.
Nearly every good business employs the soft-sell(软推销)method in some way. With this method, a company can encourage a customer to buy a product or service without seeming too pushy(死缠硬磨的).2.
The soft-sell method often uses promotions like money-back guarantees and free-trial periods. By promising your customers that they'll be happy with their purchase (购买), you can persuade them to give you a chance.3.That can help your financial goals on track.
4.Choosing to sell your products or services this way will help people know that your business is reliable and easy to work with. Sometimes good word of mouth can make all the difference in how many sales you make.
The soft-sell method is generally the preferred one for most businesses, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. 5. If your competitors are employing a hard-sell method their aggression could force customers into buying from them instead of you.A hard-sell method is typically a more aggressive way of making a sale While some people will be turned off by a pushy method, there will always be those who give in to the pressure. So it's important to take that into consideration if you plan to rely only on the soft-sell method.
A. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages.
B. The soft-sell method will also help you win good fame.
C. a salesman tries to sell something using indirect methods.
D. Sometimes a soft method might be easily beaten by a pushy one.
E.“ Soft sell”and“ hard sell” are known to scholars and businessmen.
F. When you keep your promise, you earn their trust and gain repeat buyers.
G. The idea shows the good of making a purchase while putting customers at ease.
