As a consumer I like to be left alone, and as a salesperson, I know that most people when left alone will delay the decision until they meet a salesperson who will convince them to make a decision right away.

I like no pressure sales and that's how I sell in real estate. The house usually does the selling, not the agent. We only provide the client with information to make an informed decision. I'd feel bad pushing a house onto someone if they are on the fence about it or not really into it.

For me it just the facts, when I then check to see if they are REALLY the facts.

People can try to sell me with their pitch, but I just ignore it. I also never look at the benefits when making a decision. That is just to easy. Look at the negatives and if you can live with those, and there are benefits, then go for it. If you don't like the negatives, then stop right there.

All the agents responses to this basically say the same thing...they hate pressure, don't want to be "sold" to...yet that is exactly what most all do to the consumer.

Being a sales person it affects me in stores and sales calls. Give me the facts and ill decide. I dont want to hear a sales pitch and surely dont need them to come to my house and sit with me for an hour such as a roofer just did. I said give me the price, material list and your time frame. Their answer we need an hour to discuss. My answer i need 2 minutes to tell if you are in the ball park before i question your old clients to see if they were happy with your work

Sometimes I don't know all the benefits.

I would not classify a person who is accomplished in the craft of sales,  listing the benefits, outcome, results and solutions, as 'selling' but would place value in their craftsmanship.
