Salespeople use various techniques and skills to build relationships, understand customer needs, and communicate the value of their offerings. Personal selling allows for direct communication and customization, enabling salespeople to address individual concerns and objections effectively.

Explanation

Personal selling refers to the face-to-face interaction between a salesperson and a potential customer, allowing the salesperson to personally promote the product or service. This method allows for direct communication, building relationships, addressing customer concerns, and providing tailored solutions. Through personal selling, the salesperson can showcase the product's features and benefits, answer questions, overcome objections, and ultimately persuade the customer to make a purchase.
