cut to the chase and discover their needs in the limited time
available.
2. Create a sense of urgency and scarcity The hard sell environment
is one where you can speed through the sale by creating a sense of
urgency. The customer is much more likely to buy if they believe
they cant come back another day. Limited-time offers and special
deals can all be used to encourage customers to make a quick
decision.

too early. Keep asking, in different ways, using different angles, to
see if theres a way the customers mind can be changed.
