Personal selling involves building relationships between salespeople and customers to satisfy customer needs through face-to-face interactions. It aims to build long-term beneficial relationships rather than just short-term transactions. Successful personal selling requires the right attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Salespeople must have positive attitudes, understand their products and customers, and have strong communication, negotiation, and presentation abilities. The personal selling process involves prospecting, planning calls, approaching customers, discovering needs, presenting products, handling objections, closing sales, and following up. Building trust and addressing customer motivations and objections are key to effective personal selling.
