Chinese mini story – 推销员 The Salesman. Part 2

 

推销员

这样,他们天,销售额果然零,个儿十分沮丧,"师傅,我们东西,赠品,怎么销售成绩呢?"

矮个儿笑,说,"不是必须东西,人们推销的。现在骗子多,轻易相信你,购买产品呢?"

个儿为难了,"是不是说,我们没法推销了?"

矮个儿摆手,"不是。只要产品大家有用,一定有办法推销出去。关键是,时间內,别人认识到,他(她)必须购买产品理由。"

个儿脑袋,"意思说,别人我们赠品,觉得好,自然我们买?"

矮个儿摇头,说,"现在人们忙,星期内,绝大多数不会时间试用我们产品。"

那…"个儿胡涂了。

虽然他们时间试用,他们大多数都会填写评估单,而且评价都会好。"矮个儿继续说。

怎么那么肯定?"个儿明白。

The Salesman

Therefore, after a whole day’s work, they did sell nothing. The tall one felt very frustrated, “Sir, if we only give out free samples and sell nothing, how could we achieve our goal?”
The short one smiled, “For things that are not necessities, people are very cautious to be lured into buying. There are crooks everywhere nowadays, who will easily trust you and buy things from you?”
The tall one was confused,”Then does it mean that we simply can’t sell door to door?”

The short one waved his hand, “No. As long as your product does benefit people, there has to be a way to sell it. The crucial thing is, you need to help people find their strong reason to purchase your product in a very short period.”

The tall one patted his forehead,”So you mean that once people used our sample, they will like it and then purchase from us?”

The short one smiled and shook his head, “People nowadays are all busy. Within one week, most of them couldn’t find a chance to test out our product.”

“Then …” The tall one is confused again.

“Although they don’t have time, most of them will fill out the test reports, and the reports will look very good.” He continued.

“How could you be so sure?” The tall one didn’t understand at all.
