Hard sell and soft sell are important business terms and useful strategies for sales staff to know and understand. Both of them can work. The effect depends on the type of customers and the type of products.
A hard sell is a kind of more direct and forceful sales tactics. The sales person just keeps explaining how good the product is, why people should buy it and even how the prices might increase if the consumer walks off.
A soft sell is a different approach. The sales person tries to build trust with consumers. He doesn’t put pressure on them to buy things, just recommending a product and letting the consumers make their own decisions.
An example of soft sell is to distribute free samples to which customers often respond favorably. Businesses can use free samples to build rapport and engage customers in products or services. Recommending products between friends is a little bit like doing soft selling. People don't really care if someone else buys the product. They are just giving their honest opinions and trying to be helpful.
Humor in advertising is also used to attract the consumer's attention and get them interested in the products or services. Customers often resist hard sales tactics, thus making soft-selling much more effective for success.

"阅读下面的文章，根据文章内容判断文章后的句子是正确（T）还是错误（F）。
The marketing mix consists of ‘the four Ps’: providing the customer with the right product at the right price, presented in the most attractive promotion and available in the easiest place. The product is not just an assembled set of components: it is something customers buy to satisfy a need they feel they have. The image and the design of the product are as important as its specifications. Then the product must be priced so that it competes effectively with rival products in the same market. In addition, the product should be presented to customers through advertising (e.g. TV commercials, newspaper advertisements or posters), packing (e.g. design, labels, materials), publicity, public relation and personal selling. Finally, the product must be available to customers through the most cost effective channels of distribution. A consumer product must be offered to end-users in suitable retail outlets, or available on hire purchase or by mail order.
