Try to Change Their Mind

There are sales people who try to change the customer's thinking.

Changing the minds of customers who aren't buying a product can take a lot of work. In fact, continuing to sell to customers who do not intend to buy is a waste of time and effort.

Even if you can sell the product at that time, your opponent will have a much worse image, simply saying "I was forced to buy it". Bad rumors may circulate and worsen the overall image of the company.

The role of the sales person is to bridge the customer and the company.

Persuading the disliked customer to change their mindset may turn sales into a spot. However, if the image of the company deteriorates, it will be negative in the long run.

If you spend a lot of time trying to persuade a customer who doesn't intend to buy it, you'd better go to other customers.

Rather than going to a person who does not intend to buy, it is psychologically easier for a sales person to search for potential customers who want to buy, and work efficiency is improved.

Trying to change the other person's mind will take a lot of effort and will not be profitable.

If customers don't buy your products, it's better to leave them. They may change their mind after a while, and tell you they want to buy your products.
