Would You Buy That?
David Craig

Would You Buy That?

We all buy things – food, clothes, TVs, insurance, a car, electricity supplies, phones, a loan, holidays, a home. But do we always buy what we want? And do we ever pay the right price? Or could we have fallen victim to the nodding donkey, nibbling, the puppy-dog, bait and switch, the slash-and-grab, SSI, auction fever, the valley of death, the khazi close, the yes-yes or any of over 100 sales techniques commonly used by people who want us to buy something from them?

There is a need for Would You Buy That?  to expose the huge variety of tricks and traps that are used to sell to us, because the more we know about them, the better we’ll all be able to spot them and avoid being suckered. So next time you’re faced with the boomerang, the floater, the dance, the sneer, the scarcity sell, the Theatre of the Mind, sales jujitsu, a Columbo-Kojack, the sandwich or even just some simple mirroring and matching, you’ll know what’s happening and be better prepared to deal with it.
