Lol GENIUS.

You win both the pen and the interview. Job was garbage, I guarantee it. You dodged a bullet. Only a total scumbag would think asking that question in an interview is a good idea. They're trying to sell you a terrible job.

I noticed the same dynamic. I've noted & added this technique to my repertoire. Chris Hannibal would make a killing in Real Estate, Stocks, Software sales, etc.

Too late. It disappeared.

Bwahahaha! Yes man!

Do you understand what I'm saying about a cult??

Yeah most of them are sharks anyway, competing against their co-workers rather than with them like in other industries where people have to work together. Only the assholes seem to survive.

Now I realize I was focusing too much on the product and not enough on him. I just kept trying to talk about how great this phone is without really talking about him or what he wants.

So, you are implying that Salesman in training or on a job interview dont get asked "to sell product x". Makes sense. What would you ask for?

@@PaRaNoiDisLOW Most sales companies will train you to sell according to their standards. Selling can be a short process or a long one with complicated questions and disscusion

Yeah, it’s an excessively challenging question because the asker doesn’t really need or want the pen. It’s like a straight guy asking a gay guy to convince him to go on a date. The gay guy will need to go above and beyond what is considered normal to make a convincing argument.

@@PaRaNoiDisLOW From my experience, they'll ask generally how you would sell something/build a client base. Like I would always say to make a connection with a prospect, find their needs, provide a solution, then stay pleasantly persistent with them if they don't want to buy at that time. Or a company doesn't even ask but just want to guage your personality and interpersonal skills and then train you how to sell in their style. We're kind of past the whole quick witted salesman style from the 20th century as internet reviews are easy to find now. It's more about creating a general atmosphere that clients feel connected to and personalized service. You can even see this in basically any subscription based product. Like HBO Max will send me notifications "Movies picked for *My Name*" or emails from companies acting like they're your friend. It's less product centric now and more about creating (or in many cases fabricating) a personal connection. The idea of "You can buy this anywhere but we'll do what we can to want you to buy it from here, bc here we're family".

@@obits3 Even if you get the "sale" or "date" it doesn't mean that it'll work out. If you push someone into a yes, unless they pay up/or fuck right then, any space between that pressures sale and the actual situation sold will give them time to back out.

"You want this pen?" "Sure." "OK, here ya go." And then I go work for somebody that doesn't try to make himself (and of course it's a "him") look powerful by trying to make me do something silly like this. Woo hoo!! I win!!!

He said he doesn't sell the pen, he sells himself. He did.

sum guy you're a hard man.....

Bravo 👏👏👏

Lyan Villacorta that is, in fact, a fantastic idea!

That is how we should all behave, Lyan. Personally, I make a general point of never signing a contract in front of the sales person ... instead, I take their arguments away. This way I can think about how they can be applied to my situation. This gives clarity on how to best proceed. The dynamic should always be that THEY don't want to lose out on YOUR business. When I'm under 'sign now' pressure (fear of loss) ... I make a point of telling them I'm very interested and then insert a break... whether that be to order/chase up a coffee... or to go fetch something to illustrate our use case... because even just a few moments of uninterrupted thought can make a huge difference. The idea is to never allow any emotional fear of loss to govern a decision. Usually with 'time limited offers' I usually avoid asking questions that confirm the limitation as this forces the salesman into a firm position. Instead I will typically point out that it is a shame ... if he'd come to me with this proposition a week from now I feel certain that we'd be in a position to do business 'at that price point'... perhaps with a view of its applicability to the organisation as a whole, rather than just this office. It's amazing how often they manage to magically hold open their time limited offer XD But only when you are not in immediate engagement can you properly evaluate, associate ideas, consider the wider market, and come up with a strategy. So, typically, the second time I see a salesman I'm either already in or out or I have a firm counter-offer. I am then emotionally neutral and quite willing to walk away from the table.

If I were there, I would buy it

Seems like this style of movement and random blurring is on purpose. Stops you from falling asleep and keeps you paying attention.

Not really, he followed the secrets of some of the best businessmen in American history. It's easy for you to sit there and think of all kinds of ways to outsmart the pen salesman, but in the moment, you are going to be the same as everyone else. It's the human condition.

The point was that you're not selling a pen, you're selling yourself, your personality and ability to understand your client's needs. It's to be applied everywhere in life, not just this scenario. When you listen and understand what is needed, not necessarily what is wanted, and provide for that need, then you will always be seen and known as a reliable problem solver.

hes probably not gonna refer to a specific one that he only uses for one special thing and if that is the case he wont really need this pen i guess ^^

Then comes the part when you strip, it will distract him so hard that the poor guy will forget his question and just buy the fucking pen. This "you've got to sell yourself" stuff is reducing the world to shit.

you say if this pen was that significant enough you would have said it and remember it. i am not selling an ordinary pen but the pen you want to sign qith when you finish the sell..

+Danny Chen It isn't a lie. There's no need to lie during a pitch.

It could also just be an example of someone who sells pens ......

Science Of Persuasion specifically consensus: people look to the actions of others to determine their own.

He won't. He'll spend a week using the pen for signing the sales-contracts, and after that he will want to keep using the "special" pen to achieve that sense of accomplishment/replicate the exact detail of what he does.

Let's be sell outs :)

Here is a pen for $0.99, i suppose the most successful sellers are Walmart and Walgreens.

McDonald's is the most successful restaurant in the world ... does that make their food the best quality? Asking for a friend.

Meaning you can persuade me to buy a low quality pen by your polished quality of coercion. In McDonald's case it's taste over quality, most don't care what they eat, i have never been persuaded by McD's cashiers, they perform poorly in enticement, usually it is "would that be all?" but in effect it's still effective. What the fast food chain is good at is by using subconscious tricks to entice you, they use bright colors, red, yellow, this tricks the brain to make you hungry, also the use of certain aroma on food and drinks will make you go for more. Normal beef and fries when cooked at home don't have those pleasing aromas. So in conclusion you try to apply trickery in speech which is similar to McD's color trickery. What do you mean by "Asking for a friend."?

No, I'm pointing out that the exercise of selling an everyday object is to demonstrate simple sales technique. These techniques will then be applied to the salesperson's job of selling the quality product they really represent. In my particular case: myself. The video was specifically targeted at variety entertainers as an example of how to represent themselves, though this exercise is used fairly universally in sales training. Mine isn't the only solution, of course, but it is strong and works well.
