Working in a store where we sell products from 10 cents to 1,000 dollars, it can be difficult to find what pricing customers are looking for. A few months ago, there was a man in the remote control car section of our store, looking at all of the models we had to offer. Being somewhat unfamiliar with the R\/C department, I naturally assumed that he would want a cheaper car because I certainly would not be willing to spend anything more than 300 dollars on a remote controlled car. After talking to the man for a few minutes, just hearing about his backstory in R\/C, I recommended a few cars that I thought would be a good fit for him. After a bit of telling him what the specs on the car was, he looked really dissatisfied so I recommended a car that was a bit more expensive. Yet again, he was dissatisfied and then he saw one car that was by far the fastest and most expensive, pricing at 1,000 dollars. He was a bit frustrated as to why I didn\u2019t tell him about that one first and he immediately bought it without a second thought.<\/p>\n
That day I learned a lesson that my budget is not my customer\u2019s budget, whether it be higher or lower. So, from that day on, when customers ask me what I would recommend, I always ask what price range they are thinking and go from there. I have found this to be extremely helpful and it has given me many satisfied customers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
