How to sell during a recession?

Asking the community for some tips here; it seems like no one is buying in our market, even repeat customers/clients are keeping their pockets tight.

What do you find is working and what is not?

Got out of here with your logical question that would help explain!

But seriously, OP, you have to show need and how business will not work without it. Wants will get pushed.

The purchase needs to make sense for everyone, assume the purchase will be criticized by finance so you need to give your champions the tools to show EVERYONE the value

Depends on what you sell. If it's a good to have tool, I will simply let it go.
If it's a must have, times like these will force me to buy that.
So depends.

There's no trick, hack or magic that could work for you to sell more, to be honest. It all depends on how you position the value too.

Sell the way you should always be selling - in the "I need it" category vs. the "this is nice to have".
