The Latest Buzzword in Sales: Enchantment

Me with Andy Koh, a super salesperson of Organo lingzhi coffee

Enchantment is the feeling of being attracted by something interesting, pretty, dynamic or captivating. Like when you pass by the street and got attracted by a poster. When applied in sales, it can be a very powerful technique.

As I learnt from Guy Kawasaki, enchantment in sales is all about changing people’s hearts, minds and actions by providing them with a vision or a way to do things better. The difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person’s best interests at heart, too.

As we know, people don't buy goods and services, they buy experiences. That's the reason why Apple's fans swear to using iPhones: Apple provides a unique experience as Apple is the only smartphone company that controls both hardware and software.

By far the best experience you can provide to anyone is their own experience: how you can enhance their life experiences when they become your customer. With that they can achieve their vision and realize their dreams.

Like in our training: our clients do not just stop after attending our course. We continuously enchant them with our weekly power tips sent via e-mail. On top of that, they can also assess to our full range of articles on our blog www.AndyNgTrainer.blogspot.sg. In fact, many of them become our raving fans by referring our programs to their friends. Most importantly, we have their best interest at heart: we provide free coaching, advise or counselling on any issues relating to work. No wonder some of them said that becoming a client of Asia Trainers is like joining an exclusive club, just that our club has no joining fees and no expiring date.

Here's what you can do to apply enchantment in your sales:

Get closer to your clients - go beyond money
Understand your clients' purpose: why they do what they are doing now
Provide your clients with a powerful vision: what they can do more in future base on their purpose
Provide your clients with an unique experience that's interesting on a continuous basis.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
