partir de l'hypothèse que le client est intéressé

Explanation:
En marketing, l'approche dite "assumptive" consiste à partir du principe que le client/prospect est intéressé par le produit/service, et va l'acheter.
Je pense que l'expression "assumptive close" n'a pas d'équivalent en français et qu'il faut utiliser une périphrase pour décrire cette technique de vente.

Example sentence(s):

“Assume the prospect wants to buy because he probably does,” writes Zig Ziglar in his classic book, Secrets of Closing the Sale. “Then assume he is going to buy and he probably will. The ‘Assumptive Close’ makes it easy for him to buy."
One of the oldest and most effective closes is the “assumptive close”. What is it? It works just like it sounds. You (the salesperson) proceed with your pitch in a manner that assumes that your customer is going to buy.
