原文及修改后的回答：
In the lecture, the professor mentions two strategies to talk to consumers customers (将"consumers"改为"customers"，与原文保持一致) efficiently. And the first strategy is to point out the special feature of the product. For example, a woman wants to buy a computer in the electric electronics (将"electric"改为"electronics"，与原文保持一致) store. And she found out that the computer is too expensive. So in this case, the salesman can say that even though it is really expensive, it is really fast. So maybe the word fast can outweigh the concern of the customer. So the customer might just buy this computer. And the second point is to demonstrate something about the product. For example, just as the same example, the woman thinks that it is not portable. And in this case, the man can say that the unplugging by unplugging (将"the unplugging"改为"by unplugging"，使句子更通顺) the computer. So it is really easy to transport the computer.

修订后的回答（140词）：
In the lecture, the professor discusses two strategies for salespeople to effectively address customers' concerns. The first strategy involves highlighting a special feature of a product that outweighs the customer's concern. For instance, a woman in an electronics store is hesitant to buy a laptop due to its high price. The salesperson can emphasize the laptop's exceptional speed, which may convince the customer that its performance justifies the cost, leading her to make the purchase. The second strategy is to demonstrate the product's capabilities in response to a concern. Using the same example, if the woman doubts the laptop's portability, the salesperson can show her how easy it is to unplug and transport by placing it in a carrying case and slinging it over his shoulder. This demonstration may alleviate her concerns and increase the likelihood of her buying the laptop.

A good salesperson knows how to communicate effectively with customers, which requires addressing their concerns using two strategies. For example, if a customer is in an electronics store and wants to buy a laptop, they might be concerned about the high price of the computer. Thus, the salesperson can demonstrate to the customer that the computer is highly efficient and fast, thereby alleviating their concern about the price. Secondly, the salesperson can showcase a practical aspect of the product itself. For instance, if customers in the electronics store are concerned about the laptop's portability, the salesperson can demonstrate how easy it is to pack up and carry by unplugging it, putting it into its carrying case, and slinging it over their shoulder right in front of the customer. This demonstration may help eliminate customers' concerns and increase their likelihood of making a purchase.
