Course lessons

Step 1

The lesson

Good sales isn't pressure. It's helping someone decide whether your product solves their problem — and being honest when it doesn't.

  1. Start the conversationBe friendly and relevant, not pushy.
  2. Ask and listenLearn their situation before talking about your product.
  3. Connect to their problemExplain how you solve what they just told you.
  4. Handle concernsObjections are questions. Answer them honestly.
  5. Ask for the saleMany people never actually ask. Do it clearly.
  6. Follow upThank them, check in, and ask for referrals.

Key term

Objection

A reason a customer hesitates — price, timing, trust, or doubt it'll work. It's usually a request for more information.

Step 2

Step 3

Real-world example

"$12 is kind of a lot"

A classmate tells Marcus his price feels high. Instead of arguing or instantly discounting, Marcus asks a question:

  • Marcus: "Totally fair. What do you usually do when they get dirty?"
  • Classmate: "I tried scrubbing them and kind of ruined one pair. They were $90."
  • Marcus: "That's exactly why I started. $12 is a lot less than a new pair — and you'd have them back tomorrow for the game."

He didn't pressure or discount. He connected the price to the classmate's own experience — and then asked, "Want me to grab them after school?"

Step 4
