Analysis on the selling process stage
Before going in details about each step, I note that I collected the information by going as a possible
buyer.
The opening
In what concerns the opening, there isnt much of a difference between sellers. When I approached the
seller, I didnt see the professionalism I was expecting. The seller never introduced himself, or say why is
he there. He just asked me directly what am I looking for, which is not actually that bad, because he
goes straight to the point, which is the clients needs, but still, an introduction would help more in what
concern the clients approachability. And this I observed at all the sellers, nothing different here.
What I did noticed different is the body language. For example, at Flanco, the seller approached me with
a very bored and tired face. He was talking as if the only thing he waits for is to go home, thing that
doesnt leave such a good impression.
On the other hand, when I went to Altex, the seller was smilling, and talking very openly, and the same
for Domo. This creates a little bit more confidence towards the seller, showing that he does actually
enjoy working there, thus showing something about how good the company is.
Negotiation
There isnt much of a negotiation here, because you cannot bargain with the seller about the price. All
that the sellers did was to tell me what discounts they have.
And last but not least, at Domo, the seller kept his neutral and straight to the point attitude. He told me
that he waits for me to come when they receive the new stock, and wished me a good day. My answer
wouldve been Yes.
Follow-up
Although Domo and Altexs sellers told me that they expect me to come again, this is the level on which
the follow-up stops.
