How Talking About Fruit Made Me Want to Buy from a Printing Company
Catching a buyer’s attention in under 30 seconds can be hard
I was running a sales workshop recently. I always start by asking people to sell their company to the rest of the room. Amongst all the delegates at the session there was one message that really stood out.
This was the message:
“We print on anything apart from fruit”
Having had sales pitches from over 1,400 printing companies over my buying career, I am now battle hardened. Most sales messages pass me by as I have already heard something very similar.
