ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Personal selling

Personal selling is like playing with friends! When you want to sell something to someone, you talk to them face-to-face instead of just showing them an ad or sending them a message.

Just like making friends, you need to make a good impression! This means being polite, smiling, and starting a conversation. You want to know what the person is interested in so that you can show them something they will really like.

Just like playing together, you need to keep the person interested! You can do this by telling them more about the thing you're selling and why it's special. You can show them how it works and what it can do.

Sometimes, you might need to answer questions too. This means being honest, and telling the person everything they need to know.

And finally, just like friends have fun together, you want the person to be happy with their purchase! You can answer any last questions they might have, and help them make a decision they'll be happy with. This means you'll have made a new friend and maybe even made some money too!
