Some items just fly off the shelves of a Sims business. Others need a little persuasion. If a Sim has a high Charisma skill bar they will earn badges faster.
The sales bar
The sales bar will appear above the Sims heads when they are looking at an item, the direction the circles around the bar are moving determines whether the Sim is deciding for or against buying the item. If ignored for too long a Sim may get annoyed and a customer loyalty star may be lost.
Sims may buy without any interference of a sales rep if the relationship with the owner is high, the item is cheap, they have a few Customer Loyalty stars or the shop has a good environment score and they are in a good mood.
Susceptibility
Some Sims are more susceptible to sales than others, they may repeatedly turn down offers. This depends mostly on the Sims mood and sheer randomness on the game engines part. Finding out which Sims are good to try on is mostly trial and error, however there is a business perk which can be used to determine their susceptibility.

Sims can only perform Basic sell, moving the bar up or down by a fraction depending on the outcome.
Sims can also use the 'Sales... May I help you' option on a Sim that looks confused. Outcome depends on whether the item is in stock or not. Finally any Sim can sell their pets.
