That is value add. People want to know that the salesperson is on their wavelength.

The role of a good salesperson is to understand the customer's problems as best they can, then explain how the product will help resolve them. That is good for everyone - the business and the customer. It is helpful if they show the customer that they are trying to understand their emotional frame.

To make that clearer; imagine the opposite - if the salesperson purposefully adopts different body language that'd make the customer uncomfortable and less likely to buy a product even if it could have been useful and cost-effective for them. Value would be destroyed.



The salesperson learning that one should pose in a specific way is not value add to the customer, it's a sales trick.


It is a value added if you believe that you are selling a good and useful stuff. Buying the item would add value to the customer, so tricks to convince the scared customer to take the right step is added value.
