sales tactic

Persuasion in commerce

A sales tactic is a specific technique or strategy used to persuade potential customers to make a purchase.

Tactics range from building rapport and creating urgency to offering discounts or emphasizing scarcity: The limited-time offer is a classic sales tactic.

The term often carries a slightly cynical edge, implying manipulation rather than genuine persuasion: I could see through his sales tactics.
