Learn the Art and Science of Successful Selling by an Interesting and Modern Method. Only a few pleasant evenings of study at home are necessary
SALESAIANSHIP of to-day is not the salesmanship of yesterday. Times have changed, and the man who hopes to achieve success in this dignified and remunerative profession must first make himself thoroughly acquainted with up-to-date methods of approaching and handling his prospective customer.
Modern Salesmanship means much more than mere buying and selling. It is an Art and a Science, and a successful Salesman is undoubtedly a master artist„ Mere " flows of language._"—the " gift of the gab " (to give it the more common expression)— will not create sales. While, of course, the ability to talk is a necessary qualification, this must be supplemented by the ability and knowledge of knowing how to talk. This is indisputably more important.
The Super-Salesman must possess many and varied qualifications. For instance, one of his essential requisites is tact in handling men. He must understand that no two men are alike.
What would be successful methods of approach in one case would only meet with utter failure in another. Above all, he must know the prospect he is calling upon, or if the Salesman and the customer have never before met, he should be capable of summing the latter up at first sight and of handling him accordingly. Different temperaments require different treatment—this is where a study of human nature becomes absolutely necessary.
In such a limited space it is impossible to enumerate at length all the qualities that go to make an efficient and successful Salesman. Personal appearance ; an intimate knowledge of the goods one is selling ; honesty in speech ; the will to oblige and the readiness to be of service with information and sometimes advice ; avoidance of self-interest ; avoidance of fear and lack of interest in the proposition offered, are just a few of the many vital and necessary points that have to be mastered.
The high-grade or Super-Salesman is the man who creates a desire on the buyer's part to own some of the merchandise which lie is selling. He persuades the prospect to believe what he wants him to believe, and to act in the manner desired by the Salesman. He uses the art of persuasion to such an extent that the contract is signed often before the buyer realises what has been done.
