Default Can you sell a product you don't believe in?

I can't. I know, awhile back when I was working retail management, and figuring out how to get people to buy the highest markup of things, I grew very ill thinking about it. Here I was selling junk that people didn't need to people who couldn't afford it. I had to move on.

Now shoes, those I could sell, as long as it was a product that I believed in. I had the highest sells for Doc Martens in the entire store. Not that is a product that I believed in. I couldn't sell the Timberlands though, not because I didn't believe in them, but because I didn't quite understand their sole system. Too hard to believe in.

My DH, a man that we always junk about selling anything, we learned a couple of years ago, that he is completely incapable of selling a product that he doesn't believe in. A great quality in your spouse but not always a great quality in the provider of the home.

I think on honest people cannot sell a product they don't believe in. I myself will find a hard time convincing someone to buy this or that if I myself don't like it or don't know about it.

I dont think you can sell something you don't believe in. I have a very hard time trying to sell something to somebody, if I don't believe in the product, or if I think it is too expensive.

I think you could, but not for long. How could you endorse a product you don't trust yourself? JMO though
