Challenge the traditions
*You're browsing shoes at a retail store*
Sales guy: Hi sir, Is there anything I can do to help?
You: No! I'm just looking, but thanks.
(Conversation ends) ❌

*You're browsing shoes at a retail store*
Sales guy: Dang! Are those Reeboks?
You: Yeah.
Sales guy: (fistbumps you) I have those too but in black. Are you a Reebok fan
too?
(Conversation moves forward without sounding salesly) 👍
Takeaways:
🎀This sales guy challenged the tradition.
🎀He went for a fist bump (Who does that? Exactly my point)
🎀Instead of moving the sale forward he prefers understanding you first (Your
past exp. with Reeboks for eg)
I bet you, if you interviewed him, making the sale wouldn't even be on his list.
The sale happens naturally
Thoughts? 🤔
