Also, I did not think I would be selling anything, but I soon found that I was making a sale every moment of every day. Here are a few things that I picked up along the way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Working as a cashier&#8230;<\/strong> there are several ways that cashiers make sales. The first is the most obvious, pitching a TJX Rewards Card. There are also other less obvious ways like providing good customer service and asking customers questions, trying to get to know them. I don&#8217;t know how many times I ended up selling a dress to a customer because I took the time to help her articulate what she was looking for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Working in the dressing room&#8230;<\/strong> often times, associates look down on the people who work in the dressing room, but you make a lot of sales there. (too bad TJ Maxx doesn&#8217;t pay commission lol) As Professor Sweet mentioned in class, it has a lot to do with asking the right questions and listening. It&#8217;s surprising how many customers want help and advice from a random dressing room attendant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>On break&#8230;<\/strong> \u00a0even when you&#8217;re on break, it&#8217;s your job to represent the store. This may include anything from going out of your way to help a customer who is obviously lost to making conversation with people on the floor. There is always a selling opportunity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy selling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to talk a little bit about my retail experience. \ud83d\ude09 I worked for TJ Maxx for, altogether, about seven months.
