This past weekend I was doing some shopping, and the salespeople were terrible! They hardly knew what the sales were or how to explain them, they weren’t available for a dressing room, they didn’t help with sizes or colors, and were generally not helpful or pleasant. This may be an extreme case, because I have had some incredible retail sales experiences, but it made me wonder what the “perfect” retail sales person does? How does management train them? Because at a certain point, the individual could be the worst human on earth, but if I like a skirt I will absolutely still purchase it, and I think that goes for most people. And if they don’t jump to take my choices to a dressing room, I will still go to one because I like the clothes. And if they don’t know the sales, I’ll just ring it up and see what happens if I love the outfit enough. That said, do retail salespeople really sell anything? Or do they just make sure the store isn’t stolen from and ring shoppers out?<\/p>\n
So what is the balance of the perfect salesperson walking around your favorite store? I prefer when they really become your friend, and help you choose what looks good on, fetches different sizes, and pairs items you’ve selected with something in the store that would look great with it. Not everyone likes that, however. So what is their “real” job? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!<\/p>\n
