The Difference Between Small and Large Sales

In large sales, knowledge-based selling strategies focused on product details might not work because customers are not just buying a product, but entering a relationship. The customer's decision-making process in large sales involves considering risks and consequences over a longer period of time. In contrast, small sales allow for more risk-taking due to the lower stakes. Understanding this distinction is crucial for salespeople aiming to succeed in major sales.
