• An interpersonal communication tool which involves face to face
activities undertaken by individuals, often representing an
organisation, in order to inform, persuade or remind an individual
or group to take appropriate action as required by the sponsor’s
representative” Fill (2002)
Explaining Personal Selling Further
“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)”
“Personal Selling is when a representative of a company interacts directly
with a consumer to provide information to help the consumer make a buying
decision about a product or service”.
