No,the sales person should not be pushy because at the time when your trying to sale a product it is necessary to know the need of product in the mind of customer and a sales person should focus on that
Neha Choudhry  |  Argues in support of  "no"  |  1 year ago
No. There is a difference between forcing and convincing. Being pushy suffocates the customer who in turn will withdraw to take a breath. Give time for the customer to ask questions

Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) – Does it really boosts the Sales? Gone are the days when customers use to easily lure away by the gimmicks of the marketing persons.  Today the customers are cleverer and demanding than ever before. They cannot be easily caught in the snare of the companies’ ideological gimmicks as they used to be in the past. I would love to share with you a real life and an interesting anecdote which is about a sales promotion program of a well established and renowned cigarette company. A week ago, in the afternoon, I stopped by a Pan Shop near my place, to buy a packet of cigarettes. There was an unusual rush on that Pan shop at that time. As I reached up to the counter, I c...

Rathin Deb  |  Supported idea  "Marketing and Promotion of newly Launched Service industry - designs and Management Consultancy"  |  1 year ago
Thanks Natteraja for referral. The marketing of services any day is more challenging than marketing a product.
Mohammad Bakhsh  |  Added idea  "Develop credo "  |  1 year ago
Service sector reflects statement of a organization,people managing it and the aura of out reach.These together must create "credo" so that services are lapped up.

It was just another freezing day in Dubai on the first day of 2009, when I passed through a Pierre Cardin showroom somewhere near Jumeirah area, showing “Up to 70% Off” stickers on its big windowpanes. Starting the very first day of a new year with sales promotion is a brilliant idea, as people are in a festive mood and you are just giving them some extra incentive to buy your product. But, unfortunately this wasn’t a New Year sales promotion because you can see the same stickers throughout the year begging your attention. In India there is a growing retail brand by the name of “Koutons”, which follows 365 days sales promotion strategy. Although there is no comparison between Pierre Cardin ...

The word 'Push' has traditionally characterized FMCG sales systems in India. This is changing for the better in many ways. Sales in many companies like HLL, Marico and Colgate is secondary driven. Let me explain this to a reader who is new to sales jargons. Secondary driven basically means that retail orders to the distributor (secondary sale), which are a function of sales from the retail shelf(offtakes), determine the volume of primaries (billing from the company to the distributors - primary sale). In traditional sales systems the disproportionately high targets were driven by billing high volume of stocks to the distributors (primaries) without there being an adequate movement of stock from the distributor point to the trade (secondaries). This system worked as long as the brands has a demand (pull) that was proportionate to this loading. However in case of inadequate offtakes, this extra stock used to lie at the distributor point or die in the shelves of the retailer. In case...

Why is using email marketing services sometimes a better option than direct mail? There are many options available to the business or charitable organization that is in need of a way to better communicate with their target audience. Two of the most popular are email marketing and direct mail. While both have their pros and cons, email is often a better option than its traditional counterpart. This article will explain why by highlighting some of the advantages it has over direct mail. Cost Effectiveness One of the best qualities email marketing has going for it is its low cost.
