A lot of that is listening skills. You find out what they want, and get them to understand you're the person to give them that.
Sometimes, it just doesn't matter. You'll fail. Come to my house, lol.
I had this sweet server one time. I was on a diet. Hardcore. She cleared our table and laid out dessert plates and spoons. Then she brought the dessert tray by, explained them and personalized them. I said, "Wow, you are so good at selling those desserts...but, I'm better at saying 'No,'" to which she had no retort. She could have gone a step further and said, "Oh yeah? I guess I'll take that bet and bring you...well, you look like you'd love the cheesecake, I'll be right back! If you don't love it, it's on me!" In that case, I might have caved, but how many are willing to do that? Not many, I'd venture.
Oh, and if I relished turning all that down, "Hahahahaha," I might be evil.
She failed because she was trying to sell the 1930's way. lol.
