Presenting the product. Educating the customer about the product or the service features and benefits.

Closing the Sale. Getting the customer’s positive agreement to buy.
Suggestion selling. Suggesting that the customer buy additional merchandise or services to save money or to enhance the enjoyment of the original purchase. Reassuring and follow-up. Helping a customer feel that he or she has made a wise purchase.
