Salesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach.

Suggested Teaching PlanObjectivesStudents will be able to:understand the main idea (Bill Porter the salesman will never give in) and structure of the text (4 parts, 2 flashbacks);appreciate the characteristics of journalistic writing;grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.Time Allotment1st period2nd period3rd period4th period5th periodPre-reading; While-reading (structure)While-reading (Parts I-II; Parts III-IV)While-reading; Post-reading (discussion)Post-reading; Check on Ss’ home reading (Text B)Theme-Related Language Learning T asksPre-reading Activities1. T asks Ss the following questions on the song: (5 minutes)Why does Onetta think it worthwhile to work hard day after day? (People need her; some people care for her; she keeps her integrity by working hard.)Would you rather have a low paid job that is interesting or awell-paid job that is boring?2. Role play: Classroom salesman (25 minutes)T lets Ss read the title of Text A, then announces that the class is to do a role-play. One student will act as a salesperson. All other students will act as his / her potential customers.T appoints a student with a relatively advanced level of English to act as the salesperson. He / She will leave the classroom, think of a product to sell, and plan his / her sales talk. The product should be relevant to campus life.After the salesperson leaves the classroom, T selects several Ss at random. Only they can buy from the salesperson. All other Ss must come up with an excuse not to buy.T invites the salesperson back into the classroom. He / she has 10 minutes to close a deal.Ss discuss with their neighbors the qualities of a good salesperson.3. T leads in to the text by saying: From the role-play we know the sale of goods is rather a difficult job. It is even more difficult for a handicapped person, like Bill Porter in Text A. (1 minutes) While-reading activities1. Text structure (9 minutes)1) Ss scan the text to see if there is any natural division of parts in the text. (Asterisks divide the text into 4 parts.) Ss read the first paragraph of each part, locate the time words or references to time. (They are: 5:45, 7:45, “This is the moment he’s been preparing for since 5:45 a.m.”, after 7 p.m.) By then Ss will realize that the text is about a typical day of salesman Bill Porter.T explains language points in Parts I - II and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (25 minutes) Ss re-read Parts I - II to finda flashback. Then, by reading the sentences preceding and following the flashback, they will see how skillfully it is woven into the narration. (10 minutes)T explains language points in Parts Ⅲ-Ⅳand gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (35 minutes)Ss re-read Parts III — IV to find another flashback. Then, by reading the sentences preceding and following the flashback, they will see how skillfully it is woven into the narration. (10 minutes)Post-reading Activities1. Group discussion (25 minutes)1) Ss form groups to discuss the following questions:What has Bill Porter been struggling for all his life? Do you think it is worth his efforts?How do you feel about Bill Porter? Why?What characteristics of journalistic writing do you find in this article?Some groups report to class.T explains in more detail the characteristics of journalistic writing (see Text Analysis).T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (30 minutes) T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)do the pre-reading task;preview Text A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisThis article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic writing.First of all, a journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the journalist would not make any comments to reveal his / her feelings, but simply give the facts.Secondly, an eye-catching beginning helps lure readers to linger more on the story out of an overwhelming number of stories offered by the day’s newspaper. For example, at the beginning of this story, we learn that it takes our physically deformed hero great efforts to get up so as to do something important, yet what is this something? We are kept in suspense until the fourth paragraph.Thirdly, the vocabulary is simple, the sentences and paragraphs short, sometimes elliptical (see after-text exercise on ellipsis). When needs (for emphasis, to list a series of rapidly conducted activities, etc.) arise, a paragraph is as short as one sentence.Lastly, conversations can be transcribed word for word if they illustrate the theme, like the one in the text between Bill Porter and his indecisive female customer.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Salesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered adrawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.The traveling salesman appeared late in the 19th century both in Europe and in the U.S. The early itinerant peddler carried his goods on his back or on his horse, working his way from a port city through the hinterlands. With the coming of the railroad and the assurance given to sellers by new credit-reporting systems, salesmen with their sample cases moved across the land. Persuasive skill was less important in those days of unsatisfied demand, and orders were readily forthcoming. By 1900, however, with the increasing supply of manufactured goods, buyers became more discriminating in their purchases. Greater attention was given to training the sales force and to providing buyer incentives. The growth of industrialization and urban living led to the development of merchandising as a major business endeavor. The use of sales promotion practices experienced steady growth in the 20th century.The techniques of sales promotion are used both to motivate salespersons to improve their performance and to induce consumers to purchase goods and services. Although sales promotion works most closely with advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, and distribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distri-bution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories —salesincentive prizes (such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal salesquota.Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store redeemable “money-off’ coupons to encourage the trial of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging, contests, and sweepstakes. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participa-tion in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year.Sales promotion, now fully recognized as a vital element in the marketing mix, has become a multibillion dollar industry. In recent years, sales promotion expenditures have exceeded monies spent on advertising and there are strong indications that this pattern of growth will continue to maintain its economic edge.Ⅳ. Language Study1. linger: 1) spend a long time doing sth.Examples: My daughter used to linger long over her meal.There will be no time to linger—the press conference will begin in a few minutes.2) stay for a long time, esp. because one does not want to leaveExamples: It is a dreary little town where few people would choose to linger.He was still lingering around the stadium long after the game was over.2. scar: a mark left on the skin by a wound, burn, etc. after it has healedExamples: It’s easy to recognize the little boy because he has a scar on his left arm.The witness told the police that the criminal had a scar on his forehead.vt. leave a scar onExamples: The burns were so severe that he will be scarred for life.Her face was scarred by smallpox.So, too, do the voices of those who...: The voices of those who ... also echo in his soul. dignity: the quality of being worthy of honor or respectExamples: A physician shall be dedicated to providing competent medical service with com-passion and respect for human dignity.Some think that cloned human beings will be deprived of freedom or dignity or personal identity. They hold on to the faith that the value of life depends on its dignity and not its success.5. cripple: 1) cause to become unable to move or walk properlyExamples: At the beginning of the year 2000 crippled children were on state lists to receive care.Peter’s father was crippled by a stroke.2) damage or harm (sb./sth.) seriouslyExamples: Shootings and robberies of tourists over the past several years had crippled the tourist industry in Miami.
