Literally mask off "use storytelling to turn your sales pitch into an epic tale to emotionally manipulate your client into buying your shit without thinking about it". That is barely editorialized that is almost word for word.

There's 2 kinds of sales: sales that happen anyway because somebody needs something and, as a salesperson, all you should be doing is making recommendations between variations, and sales that are totally unnecessary and only a result of targeted psychological manipulation and the creation of a false need

there's a third kind. where i'm juicing oranges by smashing them into my orbital bone and don't know there's a better way to do it.

I get what you mean, but I have looooong passed the point where the constant bombardment of "story bull shit" like OP presented, makes me assume everything is story bull shit and ignore it.

You could come at me with the perfect magic juicer machine but I am going to assume its priced 5x more than it should be, works like shit in actual use, and will break in a week. I won't even gice you the time of day and will just keep hand juicing my oramges by smashing them into my orbital bone because I know that works.

That's not sales though that's just juicing and/or fetish play

Yeah I try to be the best I can as the first one. It actually pissed me off how they led with that video because it is entirely the opposite of why my customers like me and trust me.
