Hi A,

Before selling you that pencil, I would ask your needs first and afterwards convince you that pencil could be the best solution for you to meet your needs.


Best,

André

Can you write your name on that sheet of paper?

Der Stift ermöglicht es Ideen zu notieren und zu entwickeln, was der Grundstein für Wertschöpfung ist.

Sie müssen sich bestimmt öfter Sachen notieren und dafür brauchen sie einen Stift, der für sie immer funktioniert und auf den sie sich verlassen können. Was diesen Stift von anderen Stiften unterscheidet, ist dass sie von mir die Garantie bekommen, dass sie dieser Stift nie enttäuschen wird, während Sie es bei anderen Stiften nie wissen werden, und dann stehen sie da mit einem kaputten Stift. Machen sie also nicht den Fehler und kaufen sie diesen Stift, damit sie schneller als andere sind.

Do you know the feeling when you use a pen and it simply glides easily over paper almost as if it is writing itself? Now imagine you sign the contract of your dream job with this pen. One day you will.

This pencil is very special, it is of a high quality and you can write 50% more with it than with an ordinary pencil. Also the design is very lovely, it's colorful, handy and has an ergonomic design. You don't have to fill it up, just sharpen it from time to time, which is very ecological and economical, too.

This pencil is really a multifunctional tool! 

Of course you have the obvious function of drawing and writing which is essential as a consultant to communicate with your clients efficientely e.g. by drawing graphs and explaining situations to get a shared understanding. 

BUT! This pencil also can be used to hold your hair together, as a lineal or wight to secure documents. With the inner part you can also safe somebody's life if you need to perform a breathing cut. Furthermore you can bind together stuff with the spiral. 

As you see this pencil is really more than just a pencil! Every German owns their own one because they're just awesome.

I would have the interview first what does he see in this pencil and how can it be of use to him. He would be indirectly communicating his needs and his perspective on the pencil. I would then try to use what he said to make him buy the pencil.
