得人心者得市场 。商家送给顾客最好的礼物是满意，顾客送给商家的最好礼物是货币。美国好乐公司的副总裁艾丽莎巴伦，掌管着30多亿美元的资产。她20岁时曾当过一家糖果店的店员，来店的顾客特别喜欢她，总是等着她给自己售货。有人好奇地问艾丽莎：为什么顾客都喜欢找你，而不找别的小姐，是你给的特别多吗？艾丽莎摇摇头说：我绝对没有多给他们。只是别的小姐称糖时，起初都拿得太多，然后再一点点地从秤里往下拿。而我是先拿得不够，然后再一点点地往上加，顾客自然喜欢我了。有钱难买愿意。艾丽莎巴伦的高明之处，就在于她抓住和满足了顾客心理上的微妙差别：一点点地往秤上加要比一点点往秤下拿让顾客感到舒服。法林是美国的著名商人。有一次，一个朋友请他帮助销售在库房里积压多年的商品。他就冥思苦想，终于想出了一个经营积压商品的办法。他在波士顿市中心的繁华区开了一家商店，并在电视上做了广告，声称该店有一套与众不同的经营方法：商品标出价格的头12天，按全价出售；从第13天起到第18天，降价25%；从第19天至24天，降价50%；从第25天至30天，降价75%；从第31天至36天，如果仍然没人要，就把商品全部送给慈善机构。法林商店很快成了人们议论的热门话题，几乎知道商店广告的人都想去看一看，其中的大部分人预言：法林这个笨蛋非倾家荡产不可。因为，如果顾客等到商品价格降到最低时才去购买，商店就非吃大亏不可。然而事实完全出乎众人的意料之外，法林商店的商品从降价后就十分畅销，很快就将积压多年的商品销售一空。人心可以经营。法林的高明之处，就在于准确地调动和满足了顾客争先恐后购买的渴望心理：今天我不买，明天就会被他人买走，还是先买下为好。（蒋光宇）大道理：得人心者得市场。谁能调动和满足顾客购买商品的内心渴望，谁就能受到顾客的欢迎，谁就能使商品畅销。小故事大道理全集
