Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Increasing cognitive dissonance among customers is not a goal for salespeople. Cognitive dissonance refers to the feeling of discomfort that arises from holding two conflicting beliefs or attitudes, especially relating to buyer's remorse. Salespeople aim to build confidence, relationships, and meet expectations, not increase discomfort or doubt.
