Why Choose the Memorized (Canned) Sales Presentation

Method? Because it: Ensures the salesperson gives a well-planned presentation Ensures all of the company’s salespeople discuss the

same information Both aides and lends confidence to the inexperienced

salesperson

It is effective when: Selling time is short, as in door-to-door or telephone selling The product type is non-technical – such as books, cooking

utensils, or cosmetics

Page 13: 9-1. Carefully Select Which Sales Presentation Method to Use McGraw-Hill/Irwin Fundamentals of Selling, 10/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies,

9-13

Because it: Presents FABs that may not be important to the buyer Allows for little prospect participation Is impractical to use when selling technical products that

require prospect input and discussion Requires the salesperson to proceed quickly through the

sales presentation to the close, resulting in several closes or requests for the order, which may be interpreted by the prospect as high pressure selling
