🎯 Mastering the Door-In-The-Face Technique for Sales Success
Insights from customercamp.co

Imagine this…

You’re at a luxury car dealership, eyeing the latest models after driving your old car for years. But this isn't just any dealership…

It’s the most prestigious showroom in town, showcasing the most high-end cars you've ever seen. Determined to drive away in a new car, you approach the salesperson.

They first offer you the premium model: fully loaded with the latest technology, premium leather seats, and advanced safety features.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Then they tell you the price…

$80,000.

After picking your jaw up off the floor, you politely decline and turn to walk away…

But then they offer you the standard model, all the essential features and great performance for just $30,000.

Compared to $80,000, this feels like a steal. So you whip out your credit card and sign up for the standard model.

$30,000 is still a significant amount, but now it feels manageable. Why?

We’ll explore the Door-In-The-Face Technique—why we agree to a smaller request after a large one is made.

Let’s get into it.

🧠 The Psychology of the Door-In-The-Face Technique

Robert Cialdini explored the opposite of the Foot-In-The-Door Technique in 1975. His research assistants asked college students to volunteer two hours a week for two-plus years as unpaid counselors at a juvenile detention center, and everyone declined. Then, they were asked to chaperone a two-hour zoo trip for the kids, and half agreed. 

Cialdini called this a Reciprocal Concession, When the request is lowered, people feel compelled to reciprocate by agreeing. This technique is highly effective but using it repeatedly with the same customers can backfire. However, there are ethical ways to apply it for increased sales.

🤑 How to Apply This 
Alright, so how can we apply this right now to sell more?

Pricing Strategy: Present your highest-price package first to hot leads. For instance, car dealerships often lure you with a low daily price and then show you a pricier model. The base model then feels like a steal. When presenting prices to prospects, lead with your high-priced offer to make the desired package appear more attractive.

E-commerce: makes the affordable alternative easily accessible. Companies like Ulta display smaller, less expensive versions of products next to jumbo-sized ones. If a $64 shampoo seems excessive, the $33 option becomes more appealing.

SaaS: offers customers a free trial. Evernote, for example, knows $129.99 annually might be off-putting. So, they offer a free trial, making the paid plan seem like a good deal after experiencing the service. This taps into the Endowment Effect, making users value the service more after trying it for free.

The Bottom Line

 Rejection of a high-ticket offer often leads to acceptance of a lower one. Use the Door-in-the-Face Technique ethically to boost sales, ensuring that customers feel valued rather than manipulated. This strategy, when applied correctly, can significantly enhance your sales approach.
