Personal selling Personal selling is oral communication with potential buyers of a

product with the intention of making a sale. The personal selling may focus initially on
developing a relationship with the potential buyer, but will always ultimately end with
an attempt to "close the sale"
Personal selling is one of the oldest forms of promotion. It involves the use of a sales force to support a
push strategy (encouraging intermediaries to buy the product) or a pull strategy (where the role of the
sales force may be limited to supporting retailers and providing after-sales service).

What are the advantages of using personal selling as a means of promotion?

• Personal selling is a face-to-face activity; customers therefore obtain a relatively high degree of
personal attention
• The sales message can be customised to meet the needs of the customer
• The two-way nature of the sales process allows the sales team to respond directly and promptly to
customer questions and concerns
• Personal selling is a good way of getting across large amounts of technical or other complex product
information
• The face-to-face sales meeting gives the sales force chance to demonstrate the product
• Frequent meetings between sales force and customer provide an opportunity to build good long-term
relationships
