Week 15, Discussion 2
Every day at work I have to persuade customers into my opinion. I work for a company that provides home furnishings and our customers rely on our knowledge of the furniture and design. Persuading them to buy our products can be extremely complicated. In order to persuade them into, I guess you could say, buying my "opinion," I tell them the benefits of the product by backing it up with evidence. For example, I refer to the kind of material the product is made out of and talk about our competitive prices that we offer. In order to persuade customers into buying something you must state your claim and then back it up with evidence.

My friend had a job where the place she worked at was opening a new store, and she had to walk around the area handing out fliers. She asked for help and I went with her passing out fliers to potential customers. As we passed out the fliers we had to explain what the store was selling and how it is new around the area, and to get them to try it out. Many of the people accepted the flier willingly and promised to come by the store. There were a few that didn’t accept and disregarded us and pushed us out of the store. Persuading people to try new things is pretty easy especially when there’s a discount on it.
ReplyDeletehey colie,
ReplyDeletei have to do the same thing as well. i work for the marketing team for HP pavilion and i have to go around and pretty much persuade people to let me hang up posters up on their window. usually they say no to me because they think its blocking their sight but what i have to do is pretty much sell my "product" as i would say. i give them all the benefits that comes with it such as more costumers. it really doesnt but it sells. haha
