By stating that the hot dogs would be picked up and reformulated with less salt, sending the same hot dogs back is misleading. The power of suggestion, though, is clearly shown in this article. People will believe what they want to. The skill of the salesperson is what will make that sale. By hearing what the client is saying, the sales pitch can be formulated to meet their needs.

There is a recession. It's real and people are hurting. No amount of positive thinking or denials will change that. It's not a media-created mirage. However, that's not to say an individual business cannot thrive in a struggling economy by recognizing reality and meeting the needs of the marketplace by offering great products and great service at a price that is equal to or less than its perceived value. Do that and your business will thrive, even in a difficult economy. It’s silly — if not downright suicidal — to stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is ok. There is a recession.
