One theory of how to sell has never worked for me. I call it "Needle Nose Ned" school of selling. It's named for pesky insurance salesman named Ned from movie "Groundhog Day". If you've seen movie, you no doubt remember Ned. No matter what your situation is Ned will try to sell you insurance. And if you already have insurance, he'll try to sell you more.

In Ned's view of world, everyone needs what he's selling, whether they really need it or not.

It seems there are fewer of these salespeople around these days (thank goodness) but they do still exist. They are only concerned with selling you what they have available. Somewhere, sometime, someone told them way to sell is to ask everyone they see if they want to buy what they have. They don't worry if that person would never, ever have a need for what they're selling. They just ask, ask, ask. as if act of asking will somehow make people want what they are selling.

I know in past I have said you need to ask for order. And you do. But, "Neds" of world take it too far because they ask everyone regardless of their interest or need.
