Attach a copy (a link document, or scan), and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the letter in regards to the quality of the argument it presents.Explanation / Answer
Question A:
The most important question that sales person should ask before selling the product is “what does the consumer wants and how does my product can satisfy his needs. A few days back a sales rep called me to sell me the credit card for his bank. Now, since I already had two cards, I was not interested in buying the card. But the sales rep kept on insisting on buying the card. He kept telling me the benefits of the card while I was totally disinterested in buying the card. He did not even ask me if I needed the card or what kind of benefits I was looking for (If I were to buy a card). I believe, if he had taken some time out to find out my needs before blabbering about the benefits of the card, I might have listened to him. And who knows, if the offers were really good, I might have ended up buying the card.
