This one question showed the customer that a conscientious salesperson was about to help her make a purchase.
Good salespeople are courteous, tell the truth about products, and never ignore customers.
C ustomers are looking for stores that hire salespeople who know how to be courteous to customers. This kind of a salesperson always smiles and is always willing to help. They are hard to find. Last year at Christmas time, I visited Belk's department store with my daughter to make a return. A sales clerk asked to help us but did not smile, giving the appearance that we were annoying her.
