FWIW,
I’ve been in Sales for much of my life and I’m very familiar with most of the tactics taught and used.
On balance, I’m not a very good “Salesman”. I simply can’t lie or misrepresent, mislead or intimidate. My success has come from having an intelligent conversations with intelligent people and guiding them to the logical conclusion. I’m all business and I can’t pretend that I care about their dog that just died.
Sales tactics will continue to evolve as prospects learn and grow over time and then revert back to playing on peoples fear and greed.
It’s no different than politics.
There is some talent overlap, but I think salesman have to be more practically oriented when selling products than people are when selling movies or music.
The appeal of movies and music are to the more emotional section of the brain. In salesmanship, things like color and style (such as in cars) serve this purpose, but the dominant factor is functionality for it's intended purpose.
