I waited until the fall break four day weekend so that I would have plenty of time to look around the Grove City Outlets to find a pair that worked for me. I wanted a new pair of\u00a0 running shoes or cross trainers to replace my pair which had begun to fall apart. The greatest challenge though, would be finding a pair which felt comfortable on my feet because the arches of my feet make many shoes excessively uncomfortable to wear. As I looked through many of the shoe selling stores within the outlets I was often approached by generally friendly salesmen and women who helped me find the shoes I picked out in my size. Most of the shoes fit but were generally uncomfortable. However, their help made me realize that I was far too focused on what I wanted my ideal shoe to be. In the next store I entered, I approached the first sales representative I encountered and told him how I was struggling to find new shoes. He then proceeded to ask me a few questions about what was important to me for the new pair before bringing out a pair for me to try. To my amazement, the shoes felt great on my feet and looked great too. I was so surprised to see how the salesman was able to find the perfect pair of shoes for me after just asking me a few simple questions. This experience is proof to me of the concepts we&#8217;ve been discussing in class regarding just how much sales has changed and how most salesman today have the customer&#8217;s best interest in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last fall, I noticed that my favorite pair of shoes were starting to fall apart and determined that I needed to find myself a new pair.
