Create a need for your products.
Example: A young salesman once sold 10,000 toothbrushes from a mall booth in a single day. His boss asked how. He said: "I served free snacks. Everyone who ate one said it tasted like dogsh-t. I said it is dogsh-t. Want to buy a toothbrush?"

Forgot all the used car saleman crap. We all sell the same thing, customer satisfication. That is the only product. It doesn't matter wheter you are selling a religion or maxi pads.
The first thing is you have to know your product. I mean everything about it. Fall in love with it. Know who invented it, know where it came from. Know everyway it can be used.
A product is really a solution to a problem. You have to know EVERY problem your product can solve.
Next, you have to know your market. And don't think that your market is everyone. It isn't. Let's say you sell life insurance. How much life insurance do you think young, unmarried men buy? Who buys more laptop computers--senior citizens or the parents of college age students?
You have to figure out who has the problem that your product solves. Then you need to advertise in those markets. Chosing a method of advertising is easy, use all that you can afford.
The rest will work itself out.

Your question is to broad based to be easily answered.
Your sales approach should never conflict with the basic "sins" of the local community. Depending on what you have to sell, you can even tie the profit of guilty pleasures in by donating to charity. This alleviates the guilt that many have in "having" while others do not.
You can also "manipulate" customers and play to the common experience of envy. "Your neighbour has it, so should you."

I always perferred the soft sell. I hate cold calls. Be sincere and believe in your product or sell something else.
