I have never been to a store that takes such good care of its customers. This is just one example of an incredible experience I had there&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was my senior year of highschool and I needed a prom dress. This is normally a fun experience for girls, but for girls at my school, it was normally just stressful. My school (being a private Christian school) had a ton of requirements that dresses had to meet, like length, sleeve length, etc. Their rules for prom dresses pretty much rules out most dresses you would find in a normal school. SO, we all had to go to specialty stores and spend a lot more money than we wanted to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One year, however, my friend told me to go to Nordstom to get my dress, because she had gotten hers there and had had a great experience. I took her recommendation, and went there with my mom a few days later. As soon as we walked into the dress department, a woman walked up to us, introduced herself, and asked our names. She remembered our names, and called me by my name for the rest of the time I was there, which was the first time I had ever had a clothing salesperson do that. It made me feel more important, and was a great sales tactic. She then asked me what I was shopping for, what the occasion was, and what I wanted in a dress. She walked around the floor with me and asked me to point out some dresses I liked, even if they didn&#8217;t fully meet the requirements I needed for my school. As we walked around, she pulled out the dresses I said I liked, and then went back and pulled out other similar dresses which she thought would better meet my schools requirements. In the end, I picked one of her recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She made a stressful and frustrating experience fun and stress free by being incredibly attentive, listening well, and helping me find what I wanted. This is what I think of when I think of a great salesperson. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I think about good sales experiences, I immediately think of Nordstom.
