These advices are very deceiving... but somehow, customers still take the bait. Everybody must have gone through or seen at least one of these.
The 'lucky customer' tactic is very cunning. :D

Elly m, sadly, these people are everywhere. Otherwise salespeople couldn't make a living today.

@lienz, the problem is we're coming up with selling ideas faster than we create good products. And you know what's even faster? the growth of gullible consumers.

He..he..
Funny tips AGAIN..
I have realized that from your tips,it will be useful not for the SALESPEOPLE..but also for the FOOL customers!!!

To sell product is not too easy.I feel proud in sense that from difficulty,lot of critical thinker(especially those who are salespeople and maybe you Zedd!)have innovate good products and the important thing is the IDEA on how to sell it.

To know on how people think and react towards the idea is MORE important.Good Zedd,such a good advisor.

The lack of guts to say "No" and disappoint/anger you

Ha! These people should never be let out of their homes. Ever. (obviously for their own good and not the good of the retailers, in which case the retailers have those other groups to victimi- er, target.

These sure brings back memories when I used to be a salesgirl who pestered people in restaurants/sidewalks/offices/whay-have-you, selling bargain one-time-only not-to-be-missed goods. Ahhh nostalgia...

Bizgiftguru, pretty amusing how people becomes disillusioned by a mere price-point. I know cashiers hate those pricing strategies..

Ayumi, no problem. As long as you don't speak Tuareg or Swahili. Then I'll have problems.

the .99 is an old trick but it still works. and not only in retail ... sometime when I am forced to revise selling prices of some our merchandise that we sell in export quantities I have to play with the psychological levels ... going from 4.60 to 5.05 will without doubt result in loud yelling from buyer. if I only raise the price to 4.95 I will be usually OK ... this will make the buyer ready for the next increase to 5.05 :-)

Hunt Fish, u're welcome.

Sakutheotaku, even if we're the boss, never admit it. It's one of the classic excuse to shut the customer up..

Some great tips you have offered for those in the retail industry. It really brings me back to the days when I was a teen and working at the Gap. When confronted by customers who demanded a discount I too relied on the good ol' "I'm sorry but the prices are set by the boss; I'm not the boss," tactic. Works like a charm.
