Its not how you sell, its how they buy
Case 1
• You walk into a restaurant, after spending some time on the menu you ordered a dish, the waiter said
“ The last three people I had in here before you ordered the same dish and in both cases they weren’t very happy with the way it was prepared and of the quantity. If you’re really hungry for that type of dish, try this other dish. People love it! It’s a bigger serving and Rs 50 cheaper than the special.”
