Sales techniques is the body of methods used in the profession of sales, also often called selling. Techniques in use vary from the highly customer centric consultative selling to the heavily pressured "hard close". All techniques borrow a bit from experience and mix in a bit of guesswork on the psychology of what motivates others to buy something offered to them.

Mastery in sales techniques of selling can offer very high incomes, while failure in it is nearly proverbial. Coverage of the latter is popularized in the Arthur Miller play Death of a Salesman.

Because selling faces a high level of rejection, it is often difficult for the practitioner to handle emotionally, and is usually cited as the most common reason for leaving the profession. Because of this many selling and sales training techniques involve a lot of motivational material. Cold Calling is especially difficult for many people. (Me included!).

Good selling involves asking questions to elicit the prospect's needs and desires and finding the appropriate product or service that meets those needs and that the prospect is willing to pay for. If good prospecting (qualifying) is done, then the prospect may already be well suited to the product or service and the salesperson simply needs to lead the prospect to act on the desires and needs they have. A good salesperson is much more knowledgeable about their product or service than the prospect could ever likely be and can offer valuable information and insight to the decision making process.

In addition, an ethical salesperson will always make sure the prospect receives more value from the product or service they have purchased than they have paid.
