Instructions
Step 1
Obey all local laws and regulations before starting a business. If the city authorities require a permit, get it. If you need to register your business, register it. Never sell counterfeit or stolen goods. If you are selling on a private property (such as a shopping center car park), obtain permission from the owner. Please be aware that many products are often subject to taxes.
Step 2
Make sure people notice you before you approach them. Otherwise, they may get scared or angry, call the police. In addition, you yourself can consider potential customers from afar and analyze them to find out who looks the most open to buying from you. Keep your product visible as potential customers need to know what you are selling. Watch your speech, be courteous and polite.
Step 3
Come up with a profitable offer for your product. Offer a money-back guarantee, or even a double refund if a customer doesn't approve of your product. Studies have shown that the number of people who, thanks to a serious guarantee, people do not feel in doubt when buying. Create a business card with your product so customers can contact you later. This will provide them not only with contact information for the guarantee, but will also let them know how to get to you when they need the offered product.
Step 4
Improve your sales skills. Like any job, selling on the street becomes easier when you know how to do it. There are countless sales guides, reference books, and training courses out there. Set aside a week to explore an area of interest. This will increase your profits day in and day out and help you avoid many problems.
