Four Sales Presentation Methods
8-15
Sales Presentation Methods—
Select One Carefully
1. The Memorized Sales Presentation
Based on one of two assumptions:
The prospect’s needs may be stimulated by direct exposure
to the product through the sales presentation.
The prospect’s needs have already been stimulated because
the prospect has made the effort to seek out the product.

Why Choose the Memorized (Canned)
Sales Presentation Method?
Because it:
Ensures the salesperson gives a well-planned
presentation
Ensures all of the company’s salespeople discuss the
same information
Both aids and lends confidence to the inexperienced
salesperson
It is effective when:
Selling time is short, as in door-to-door or telephone
selling
The product type is non-technical – such as books,
cooking utensils, or cosmetics
8-18
Why Not to Choose the Memorized
(Canned) Sales Presentation Method
Because it:
Presents FABs that may not be important to the buyer
Allows for little prospect participation
Is impractical to use when selling technical products that
require prospect input and discussion
Requires the salesperson to proceed quickly through the
sales presentation to the close, resulting in several closes
or requests for the order, which may be interpreted by the
prospect as high pressure selling
Interruptions – salesperson may get off-track; forget
