A more accurate term to describe the art of "Salesmanship".
As selling
people things in our consumer culture is about wants, not needs; appealing to
ego and irrational desires, not demonstrating the long-term value of owning the product.
Salesmanipulationship is about deceit, coercion, and putting someone into a pressure-
cooker so they are unable to think critically on what they are about to do.
A woman went into the
shop to buy a $50 black dress, she
came out not only with the dress but with nearly $
60 in accessories for it, thanks to the clerk's Salesmanipulationship.
