Self-presentation in the sales process

Sales is an integral part of our lives. Despite being obviously associated with goods and services, we sell “ourselves” on a daily basis, either during business meetings, job interviews or when going on dates. In this case, we are a product ourselves and want to do our best to generate trust. In professional direct sales, the case is similar. Self-presentation plays an important part. A good salesperson tries to gain sympathy because this contributes to trust. This is the first stage of the sales process which strongly affects its outcome.

Taking into account how competitive the market is currently and how many similar products there are, it is worth learning how to activate the desired emotions through building a proper image. During this training course, we will explain how to draw attention of the customer, what to do to achieve a friendly attitude in an effective way and how to build credibility. Everything is done based on honest intentions and knowledge relating to psychology of social impact.
