Abstract: The article details selling technique and psychological aspects of salesmanship. The goal in presentation is to establish rapport, or mental agreement, with a potential customer and lead the contact's mind into a sale via persuasion. The sales person has to overcome resistance in the conscious mind and get the sales ideas into the prospect's subconscious where a sale can be developed in logical steps. The natural selling formula begins with an effective opener, ties in the product, proves the opener, and ends with a strong closing action. An example of a hard-hitting sales pitch is illustrated in a Quaker Oats radio commercial. Topics include the power of suggestion, integrity in representing the customer's dignity and decision to buy, and three rules for maintaining rapport.
