Obtain as much written information as you possibly can on yourproduct. Read up on the features and benefits your productoffers until you know them by heart. Keep reading until you canroll every detail off the tip of your tongue including any fee'sassociated with the product.

Have your co-worker playing the customer ask as many questionsabout the product as he can possibly think of. When you arefinished, go over the sales session with the person thatcritiqued you.

Also, take turns playing each character, playing the customercan give you a great perspective on their point of view. Thinkabout it, how often are you the customer when it comes to buyingyour companies products? Never.
