Approach- This step initiates the touch point of the sales process where the sales person has to analyse what product is to be sold to the customer whether the high end product or the no frills version of the product . The sales person has to make contact with the purchase department and this will be assisted through the HR department within the company .

Negotiation- During this stage the bargaining starts on the various aspects such as features , pricing etc. The sales person also has to evaluate his own profit margin as what product would help the customer so sales person should know about the competitor’s products by this time.
