I've come to learn studying two different feilds, sales and pick up that the two have a lot in common and I think we can learn a lot from sales when it comes to pick up. If you have worked in sales and studied it to some extent you have probably heard the frace "everything in life is sales" and to some extent this is very true.

.

Sales and pick up have all the same terms from building repore, mirroring, opening, closing, leading, being confident etc. Even how in the past it was all a rutine and you where supposed to where a suit, it was scripted and now it is meant to be more "natural", if you are in to pick up you know what im talking about.

.

One thing though I find interesting is the past trend of being indirect. In sales this can be easy seen instead of asking do you want to buy my pruduct you ask to what adress do you want me to ship the product to? the same can be done in pick up, are we going to your place or myn, it is quite assupmtive, indirect and powerfull.

(weird symbols between each line because i am crap at formating)

the new trend in pick up at least to day seem to be direct with everything and there is nothing wrong with this it is just important to realise why this is not always as effective, ill come to that later. The sales close could be "what do you say, lets buy this product" but in pick up it seem that the direct trend has jumped right into the opening line "hey i think you are cute and I just wanted to talk with you for a bit (underlining the sexuality)".

So the direkt opening is basically saying "hey this is what I got for you do you want to buy it" and it is also underlining that hey I am trying to get something from you not money like in sales but sex. This will work a lot of the time if the girl likes what she sees and she is not regularly approched buy guys, other salesmen, she will be reseptive.

With higher quality girls tough that is beeing aproached a lot they will have delveloped a rutine to deal with them just the way most people develop a rutine with cold apporoaching salesmen knocking on your door and you will quickly get automatic objections. In sales most commonly seen as "i have to discuss this with my partner" for exampel. In pick up it is the classic "I have a boyfriend". While with the more indirekt approch you actually got time to make the girl like you, this is I think more important with the high quality girls and then you got a chance to sell yourself to her.

So personally I am a big fan of the indirekt opening approach since it puts less pressure on her and you wont trigger her sales diffence system, no more false "I have a boyfriend". I've made this work several times, pulling girls right from the street in the middel of the day or in a club at night having sex few hours later.

One other thing I learned from sales is that no one likes to feel like they been sold anything, people want to feel like they made a bargain, dont make it easy for the girls tease them, tempt them and make them come to you.
