The Best List of Manipulative Sales Techniques

I have actually used the TO technique and it does work, maybe its just because I'm new, and I don't see it as manipulitlve, maybe the person you are TOing the customer to will relate better with the customer, or just has more experience than you. I usually have my friend/mentor help me out because he knows way more about the business than me. This has worked on a couple of sales for me. We dont use it as a pressure technique though so maybe its different than what you guys are talking about.

One technique we use is when someone wants to think about buying a car and come back tomorrow we will have them drive the car overnight and that forces them to come back no matter what their decision and gives us another attempt at the sale.
thats just my 2 pennies, enough of my late night rambling. Good night all!

You have given a valid example of the TO Technique being utilized in a non-manipulative manner.

Welll where's the list???

That reminds me of the Wendy's commercial where the lady asks, "Where's the beef?"

The list that Agent Smith suggested appears to still be in the making. You're welcome to join in the discussion... or did you just want the list?

The comprehensive list would be interesting, not that I would ever use any of them.

Obligation! Did anyone mention obligation?

How about the old fake 'other buyer' just waiting to snap up that house/car or other large investiment? They quicker they buy the less they think

That's a classic. "The car you're going home to think about tonight, is the car someone else thought about last night, and is coming back to buy today."

Guilt and obligation. I've seen that before at a car dealership.
