World's Greatest Sales People?

Kids are people too. Lessons can be learned about salesmanship and tenacity by watching children. Children are, by far, the very best sales people in the world. They never, I mean never take "No" for an answer. They wear their parent(s) out and down, until they hear "Yes".

Children search for a parent's hot buttons, so they [children] can address all objections.

Is this a familiar scenario? Child is in the store with his mother. They're going through the check out and the child asks her mother for a candy bar. The mother says "no". Child says "oh please, I'll be good?". Mother says "no". Child says "but mom, I'll be good". Mom says "no, it will spoil you're appetite". Child says "If you buy me the candy bar, I'll eat it after dinner". Mom says "OK, but you have to eat dinner first".
Ka-Ching, this child just made a sale.

Watch children and learn. It's a beautiful thing and you might even close more deals from your observations. I know I have.

Cheers!!
