10 Sales Stunts to Boost Conversions (Not Marketing Tricks!)

Sales Improvement Ideas (Not Marketing)
1. “Reverse Negotiation” Sales Day
Instead of you giving a discount, ask the buyer to quote their best price, and then you either approve or counter with value-added perks (free add-ons, quicker delivery, priority service).
Works offline in shops & online via a limited-time form.
Creates urgency + curiosity.
2. Mystery Bundle Sales
Offer a “Surprise Packaging Kit” at a fixed price (say ₹999) where customers don’t know exactly what they’ll get — but assure them the value will always exceed the price.
Great for clearing slow-moving stock.
Gamifies the buying process → makes customers come back.
3. Salesperson-as-a-Customer Challenge
Offline: Send your sales team to act like buyers of your own product and report what makes them want to buy or reject. Then change your pitch on the spot.
Online: Do live role-play videos with a sales team showing how to close deals.
Internal stunt, but it sharpens team selling.
4. Pay-by-Performance Deals
Let customers pay part of the invoice later, linked to their sales growth, using your packaging (if you can measure).
Example: “Pay 80% now, 20% after you sell your first 500 units using our packaging.”
Builds huge trust and removes objections.
5. “Speed Wins” Incentive
Announce: “Orders confirmed within 3 hours of quotation get X% off shipping or a free upgrade in box quality.”
Pushes for faster closures instead of long negotiations.
Works perfectly online with auto-quotes and offline with sales calls.
6. Silent Competition Between Buyers
Share anonymised stats like:
“Your industry peer bought 20,000 boxes last month. Where do you stand?”
Trigger FOMO without naming names.
Can be shared in WhatsApp follow-ups or in offline sales meetings.
7. Product Experience Days
Offline: Allow customers to walk into your unit and make their own box (cut, fold, pack) → they feel ownership.
Online: Run a “custom box simulator” (a quick tool where they design and get instant costing).
Experience → converts doubts into orders.
8. Rolling Loyalty Ledger
Instead of flat discounts, maintain a running account ledger for loyal customers. Example:
Each order earns “Boxify Credits” (₹1 = 1 point).
Credits are redeemable only against the next bulk order, not small ones.
Creates stickiness and repeat sales without free marketing spends.
9. Problem-Solving Sales Pitch
The sales team must ask one rule: “What’s your biggest headache in packaging?”
If it’s cost → show them cheaper alternatives.
If it’s delivery → sell faster TAT.
If it’s storage → sell foldable SKUs.
Train salespeople not to push products but to solve problems → conversions shoot up.
10. Win-Back Gambit
Create a “Silent Customers List” (people who haven’t ordered in 6 months).
Call them with a deal like:
“We are holding 500 boxes at your old price, reserved for you. Should we ship?”
Feels personal and prompts dormant accounts to become active again.
