How to become a good sales associate in retail?

• Answer:

  Pay attention to the vets and the ones in senior management. Always have money on your mind. Sharpen your radar! No one someone is browsing, on lunch, killing time, or serious. Usually its in the details. If the customer is indecisive -- be nice -- but walk away (checking back in periodically), but work the crowd. Lastly, screw your co workers. Retail is nicety and rather cut throat. Only the strong survive. You've got to learn to think, act, walk, and talk like a used car salesman and a nurturer. The great thing is you're not selling a lemon, you're selling quality merchandise. Oh, learn your organization's mission statement, values and goals, and align yours -- its funny how that works. Good luck!
