A salesperson approaches, but instead of answering your questions or explaining the features, they seem as lost as you are. Disappointed, you walk out. Now flip the scenario—what if that salesperson had guided you with confidence, knowing every feature inside and out? Chances are, you would’ve made a purchase on the spot! That’s the magic of product knowledge.
