I'm Not Sure If It's For You
How can we introduce a product with a rejection free approach.
Starting with "I'm not sure if it's for you but.." will make impact on the listener.
First the listener will feel less pressure,
Second by having "but" in the end of it will make subconscious mind to focus on the rest of sentence as a more important message.
Example.
I’m not sure if it’s for you, but would you happen to know someone who is interested in this product.
