Then, salespeople try to interest them in buying extra items, like stereos and floor mats. In clothing sales, salespeople show customers items that match or accent items they have already chosen. While working with customers, salespeople describe products' features and show how they are used. For some jobs, salespeople need specialized knowledge. These workers sell electronics, computers, and other complex products.
Most salespeople run cash registers, take payments, give change, and bag purchases.
Depending on the hours they work, salespeople may open or close the cash register. This usually requires counting the money in the register, separating out the charge slips, and making deposits at the central office. Salespeople may be responsible for any money missing from their registers. Other duties include taking care of exchanges or returns and stocking shelves. Some salespeople mark prices, take inventory, and prepare displays.
