All of the 6 steps you've mentioned are spot on and irritating.
They are all designed to make you feel like you are being preyed upon, taken advantage of, having your time wasted and seen as a disposable 'item'.
The exact opposite of what sales is supposed to be, which is to see the other person as a human being who's time you don't want to waste (respect) and as someone who's life you can add value to by offering them your product and in return you get their money - win-win.
Lord knows why the 6 step method above is still practiced but I imagine the managers think it's sleek and a good way to be a salesperson.
