The Unsellable Generation

People today exhibit increased skepticism and a lack of trust, largely due to constant exposure to marketing and sales tactics throughout their daily lives. From the moment they wake up and check their phones to encountering ads on social media, television, and even billboards, the relentless barrage of sales messages has conditioned individuals to develop defensive mechanisms. This pervasive sales culture leads many to instinctively resist any selling attempt, triggering a fight or flight response when approached with a sales pitch. Thus, overcoming this ingrained skepticism is essential for successful selling in today's environment.
