THE EASIEST WAY TO SELL

Your eyes twenty times more efficient than your
1t twenty-five times easier to convey thought through
picture than through oral description.
The easiest way to sell is to let your prospect see your
merchandise and if possible take it into his hands.
To reach the mind Of another human being there are
five roads you may take-the five senses
Seeing
Hearing
Touching
Smelling
Tasting
Through which of these five may YOUR product
be sold?
If sell tea tasting and seeing perhaps the best
roads.
If sell cloth, seeing and touching doubt the
best.
Make appeal through many of these five roads
possible but remember that the of sight the keenest
and therefore the most effective to the completed sale
Most statesmen feel that talking the most important part
of their work.
But many times they would succeed better if they talked
less and demonstrated more
Let your prospect your product what is good
for, and the nature of merchandise permits, let him
taste, SMELL touch.
If you sell ntangbles such insurance advertising,
show pictures of RESULTS-graph charts-nake your ap-
peal through the eye well as the ear.
Arthur Brisbane is said to have declared "A good picture
is better than a million words"
