I agree with what brother Revert2001 is saying here. He is just presenting an analogy and obviously it shouldn't be taken in a literal sense, for example after selling a product the cutomer writes a check, whereas it goes without saying that after dawah there is no such thing.

Brother is rather talking about adopting some of the qualities of a good salesman and I agree. When my mother was in a spiritual turmoil during their Ismaili days (she was the first one to revert, Alhamdulillah), one such amazing daiee came along, who gave her just what she wanted. My mother hated going to the shia jamatkhana and found it too open and a place for show-off rather than religion. This was her main concern, and the daiee only focused on that for a while, that in islam you don't have to go out to pray...there's noone watching except Allah swt..etc etc. And Alahmdulillah she was convinced. Everything else came gradually.

I think it is very imporatnt to know the spiritual needs of the one you are talking to, being a good salesman here can definitely help inshaAllah.

Jazak Allah Khair brother.

wasalaam.
