    Here are some tips for business :

    Sales parroting 

    If you are selling cars and hear someone say I am not sure this car is right for me. Repeat to him Not sure for you. They will say not right for my personality which is sporty. So now you know that you have to show the person a sporty car.

    The above is just one point

    Another point in sales is this. Try to copy not only your customer class but the class of your product as well. Are you selling handmade suits Put a little decorum?If selling sweatsuits try to wear something a little sporty. Customer is buying your experience and hence you are part of the product they are buying.

    When in sales use their words, not yours. In case you are selling a car to a young mother and she is worried because she has a baby. Instead of saying child protection lock say No baby can open the window because of the driver’s control lock.

    Now let us talk about life in general :

    When you are asked where you are from? Don’t just say Delhi or New york. They might ask you what is the latest mugging scene in New york. Or if you say Delhi they might ask you something related to politics. Learn some facts that people will find interesting from your home town.
