7/28/23, 11:53 PM Module 3 Quiz: Attempt review Question 10 Correct Mark 1.0 out of 1.0 Read the assignment description below and the paragraph that follows. Has the writer responded to the question appropriately? Imagine that you are in the business of selling home computers. Describe how you would use the foot-in-the-door technique, the door-in-the-face technique, and the low-ball technique to try to make a sale. When selling a product, the seller could use a foot-in-the door, door-in-the-face or low-ball technique. A foot-in-the-door technique to sell home computers might entail asking customers to rent a computer for a short time. Once a customer views themselves as a computer user, they might be more willing to buy. A door-in-the-face technique might involve asking a customer to buy the top-of-the-line computer and then offering something notably less expensive. In a low-ball technique, the customer might at first be told only the price of the computer itself. Once the customer shows interest, then the salesperson would add on the prices for the computer’s peripherals - the software, cover, mouse pad, etc. Select one: a. Yes. The prompt has been addressed in the paragraph. v/ b. No. The paragraph is partially irrelevant. Your answer is correct. https://www.myucwest.ca/lms/mod/quiz/review.php?attempt=906051&cmid=3055505 717
