Explanation
Both transactional and consultative sales ultimately succeed when the salesperson keeps the customer's business problems at the center of every interaction - in transactional sales this means solving immediate needs efficiently, while in consultative sales it means diagnosing deeper challenges and recommending tailored solutions. Option A is wrong because chasing volume without understanding customer problems leads to misaligned pitches, poor retention, and damaged trust - high volume means nothing if you're selling the wrong thing to the wrong person.
Memory tip: Think "C for Customer, C for Correct" - in both sales models, the Customer's problems come first, not your quota.
