Abstract

Ask a sales manager what drives a customer to say yes, and most will give you some version of the same answer: the customer weighed the price against the value, decided it was a good deal, and bought. This is a comfortable story because it is tidy. It is also, according to a large body of behavioral economics research going back to the 1970s, wrong far more often than sales training manuals like to admit.
