2. Fear absolutely is the best motivator to sell something

In a former life I was very briefly a timeshare salesperson. The main motivator we were told to pitch was "fear of loss".
Loss of youth, loss of your marriage, loss of time with your children, all "solved" by buying an overpriced timeshare.

PS you can buy timeshares for the cost of the closing costs (around $500) on Ebay.
