I was in a seminar this week where the guy at the end was joking when he said something like, "I'll chase you down if you leave this room without buying something today".

Daily Sales Tip: Do You Use a 'Guilt Trip' Sales Pitch?
When you make me feel bad for not buying your widget you might generate short-term revenue, but I will quickly avoid you at all costs.

I don't care. OK. Let me restate that. I do care. And if I can help you I will. Seriously.
Better yet, if you have a product that I want to buy I will do that -- and probably not argue with you about the cost.
But when you make me feel badly -- that's just not cool. It's costing you revenue and referrals (which might be the more valuable of the two).
