if you understand what is the need of the eskimo,he might need ice blocks to build something,so you can sell him ice blocks,just find out what he needs ,it is true that he has ice around him but its not cubes,blocks,...etc.

we have sand around us yet we buy sand for buildings because we need it crushed,powdered.,....etc.

if you understand the need then you can sell anything.

Grabbing a snow cone this is so simple. I can sell ice to an eskimo by saying. "Oh, Mr. you have a hole in your roof, do you like to buy an ice to cover the hole?" gosh. this is so simple...

Since the customer is in a sufficient level of this product / service. The other way to attract him is (to make it different into his eyes) by showing another specifications, usage, advantage or benefit for that particular service / product. Or else, to catch up at another time / place where he may needs your advice.

My respected sir , just like a good sales man can sell a comb to a hairless person.

Eskimos can now drink Coca-Cola in Iced Bottles, anyways, I'd still sell them Iced utensils for their igloo.
