I'm not sure what suggestions I can give you. I think you can be a great salesperson without creating a sense of discontentment in your customer. Like you said, great customer service, product knowledge, and not being pushy are appreciated by everyone. I think you can be attentive to the customer's needs and desires and pitch your product based on that. Then it's just up to your customer to decide if they're buying because of discontentment or because of a legitimate need (or conscious choice to fulfill a want). All four of those strategies can be done without trying to make people feel discontented. Does that make sense? Thanks for your comment, Melissa!

I love this post! I am so there personally but I struggle with this sometimes as someone who makes a living in sales! Do I create a feeling of discontentment in my sales pitch? Yes, I want my customers to buy from me. . . I don't want them to overspend (but don't want to tell them not to buy- who am I to judge if they are?). I try not to judge and just be an honest saleswoman. I personally, appreciate sales people who are great in customer service, product knowledge and not pushy. Any suggestions for me? Great article!
