If I Am Asked In An Interview, 'how To Convince A Customer To Buy A Product', Then What Should My Answer Be?

These type of questions usually asked when you applied for marketing job. This type of job usually required a lot negotiation and convincing skills.

Your first answer should be that first of all you would try to read the customer's mind what type of commodity he is actually looking for. Then next should get some clue about the budget. Keeping these things in mind you can then recommend a client to opt any solution given by you. Your main mission is to sell your product. Lets suppose if a customer came for the commodity, which is not available in your stock, you can offer him the substitute of that product by telling good features like low cost, reliability, warranty etc.

Secondly if you are asked to go by yourself to the customers and sell the product or service, you should first thoroughly study your strategy and the product of the competitor in the market. Because without knowing the strengths and weaknesses of you competitor, you cannot properly advertise or sale your product.

I would say, Let me show you right now...If you would hire me right now and put me on the floor (where ever there is customer) then you got my answer.
(There's no way to use objective in this kind of question. The answer to this question is proof of doing.....".Let me do it" kind of thing.......same as I'll marry you right now, will provide for you and our future kids if you doubt my love for you." )
I hope this is clear to you. One thing, there's a possibility that the interviewer would want to hire you only that your convincing ability is not very effective to him or her.....The interviewer see some good points in your resume and job application but doubting if you really can do the job.

First you must listen to the needs of your customer. After HEARING the needs, sell your product that meets their needs. Show all the ways your product suits their needs and not what they don't need.

If you wanted a dog for a companion and went into a pet shop and the person selling dogs kept saying the dog was a good security dog, that is not meeting the needs of that customer.
