Different companies have different policies about what to do when a potential customer asks for a show in a particular size to try on. Some do a "three pack"..."four on the floor" or even a "six pack" these refer to the number of pairs of shoes you need to bring the customer to try on. Some sales people make the mistake of bringing, lets say, 4 pairs of black pumps either different styles and/or different sizes, NOT GOOD! You should bring a couple of things similar to what they asked for and some different things... like the same shoe in another color and always grab a pair from the discount section in their size (something completely different from what they are trying on already), the idea here is to encourage them to buy more than 1 pair of shoes. Your "percentage" of multiple sales will be an important figure when raise time comes around. You will also want to suggest "sundries" with every purchase. These are things like leather lotion and shoe inserts and you usually earn a higher commission on these items and again, this number will be important when you get your review. Of course, the basics of good sales apply here. The first thing you do is LISTEN to what the customer wants and then you help them find it!!! Treat everyone with respect and "the customer comes first" attitude. Be willing to go the extra mile and your customers will return and ask for you! The other thing is product knowledge. Spend your "downtime" studying, learn the show model numbers, materials they are made from and how the stock room is organized. OHHHHHH, and this is really, really, really important...I don't know if I should tell you this...I'm probably breaking a secret oath of shoe salespersons everywhere, but THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WALL STRETCHER so don't let them convince you to go from store to store trying to recover it from the last place that used it (see, it's SO expensive that the whole mall only owns one and everyone takes turns with it...lol I never personally fell for it, but I've seen a lot of newbies fast on the hunt! ;-) Good luck to you!"
