The Art of Selling

Consider a row of crowded booths along a dusty road in the Middle East many centuries ago. On both sides of a dusty street, booths are lined up side by side. Some folks in the audience are just plain weird.

Each seller is required to persuade one individual at a time that his product is the greatest compared to everyone else, and that it would be a huge mistake It would be a mistake to buy from anyone other than him.

The purchaser must be qualified convinced that what he is giving up is worthless in comparison to the benefit he is receiving.

(This is the art of selling.)

Whether on a dusty street in the Middle East or in an air-conditioned high-rise in New York City, every businessperson must persuade.

The goal of the individual or corporation selling the goods and services is to make a profit.

is to persuade the customer that he will receive more than he has asked for to provide.

Since the dawn of time, people have mastered the skill of selling items and services to those who require them.

The procedures The customer must be convinced that what he is giving up is worthless in comparison to the value he will receive in return.

The methods that entrepreneurs use to market their goods have evolved throughout millennia, but the foundations remain the same.

(There is no business without a buyer)

A buyer will not make a purchase unless he is certain that he would gain from it.

The buyer must feel that the value of what he is giving up in return for what he is getting is less than the value of what he is obtaining.

When a customer enters into a fast food restaurant, the meal is valued more than the few dollars it will cost.

There is no transaction if the buyer does not believe he is getting more than he is providing.

(No different when it comes to selling online)

Granted, internet selling is a very new approach in the history of business, and there are some distinct benefits and limitations associated with it that did not exist only a few years ago.

Selling online is still selling, and the fundamentals haven't altered in decades of commercial transactions.

One of the most common concerns about internet vendors is that the great majority of them appear to be focused solely on completing the transaction.

Because of the Internet's global reach, some online merchants may believe they can hide because they aren't looking the consumer in the eyes across a counter in a physical store.

Buyers are also less confident since they can't meet the vendor face to face, and they can't generally visit the store in person to verify the validity of the business.

These shady internet vendors don't care about the client; they just care about what the customer can do for them, which is add money to their bank account.

It is quite feasible for an online vendor to create a business strategy based only on one-time transactions rather than cultivating a list of loyal customers who return for repeat purchases.

(That is the risk that internet merchants face - the tarnished image)

Other internet merchants — the sort you aspire to be – are diametrically opposed to you.

They genuinely want to do the right thing, and they understand the importance of providing genuine value to their consumers.

They want to give considerable value to the consumer at a reasonable price, but they have trouble communicating that value. Their hearts are in the right place, but they're having trouble reaching out and persuading the consumer that they're better than the competition.

(Without a seller persuading a consumer to pay, no business can flourish)

Even if your heart is in the right place, if you want to thrive in your internet business, you'll need to learn how to persuade others that you have what they need.

Today's Internet users have the attention span of Middle Eastern shoppers wandering along a dusty street, hardly glancing at the sellers yelling for their attention.

Online merchants must keep potential consumers' attention and persuade them that the items they are offering may truly assist them.

address their problems and do it better and cheaply than any other solution on the market.

Simply said, whatever you're selling has to be superior, and you have to believe it and be able to express it.

Whatever your product or service is, you must be able to persuade the consumer that the value he receives by purchasing from your online business outweighs the value he gives up.

It's your duty to generate, or at least amplify, the demand so that your product or service is ready to go as soon as the customer is convinced of his need.
