Selling Happiness
I once heard a Speaker say, “We are all selling happiness.” If this is true, it places immense pressure on us to meet the varying emotional needs of our customers. We all know people who seem to never be happy. Perhaps if we sold them the correct item, their lives would be complete? Of course, we want our customers to be happy with their purchase, but we can’t expect our customers' overall mental state to hang in the balance.
There is an old saying, “The best salesmen are in prison, they're called con-men.” I don’t believe that statement is correct. Con men offer an illusion of happiness in exchange for whatever they want. Then reality sets in, and the “mark” is anything but happy.
Quality salespeople help their customers until the consumer is satisfied. This is different from selling happiness. "Selling satisfaction" may be a more appropriate term to describe what honest businesses do for their customers. When a consumer receives what they want for a fair price, and the business sells the item for a fair profit, then both parties are satisfied.
When a consumer is provided with facts that allow for an informed decision, it becomes easier to make a purchase. Pair that with quality service, and you create satisfied customers.
