Which of the following is a purpose of an effective product demonstration:

• To show your skills at product demonstration

• To create an atmosphere the customer will enjoy

• To get the customer actively interested in the product

An effective product demonstration can convert a want into a need by showing the customer

• the way the product was constructed.

• that similar products are unsatisfactory.

• why the product will be of use to the customer.

• why the salesperson things the customer should buy.

A product demonstration in a supermarket included samples of grapefruit juice and a scientific report indicating that eating grapefruit may help to prevent cancer and heart disease. This product demonstration is offering customers

• medical advice free of charge.

• proof of the product's benefits.

• a discount on their purchases.

• an endorsement by a celebrity.

It is a good idea to try to involve the customer in the product demonstration because this

• makes the demonstration last longer.

• demonstrates the salesperson's courtesy.

Before salespeople can conduct product demonstrations, they must first

• set aside a block of time.

• show enthusiasm for the product.

• select the product to demonstrate.

• evaluate the customer's buying power.

When a customer asks for a specific product, the salesperson should show

• a more expensive product first.

• the requested product and some others.

• the requested product immediately.

• a comparable advertised product.

When customers do not ask for a specific product by name, the salesperson should determine which product to show them by asking how

• they learned of the product.

• much they are willing to spend.

• much time they have to spend.

• they intend to use the product.
