Product Selling Strategies
Answer each of the following questions as completely as possible. Answer all parts of multi-part questions. Each response should be no more than four typed, double-spaced pages. These are critical thinking questions, but you must support your answers with facts from your reading and viewing materials. Do not merely copy your answers from your course materials. Formulate answers in your own words, paraphrasing or quoting the course materials as appropriate. Be sure to cite these references in an appropriate manner by using footnotes or endnotes. If you use outside sources to strengthen your answers, be sure to cite them also.
