THE OVERVIEW
Sales is about solving problems, not pushing products. Pick an everyday object and approach someone in your vicinity to pitch its value. Start by identifying a problem the object solves (e.g., a pen helps you capture ideas). Highlight its benefits, not just features. Practice adjusting your tone and message based on their responses. This challenge is about thinking quickly and tailoring your pitch to the person in front of you.
