Start with a warm smile and a friendly 'Hello!' or 'Welcome to The Normal Brand!' This sets the tone for a positive interaction. Personalize your approach based on the customer's body language—if they seem open to conversation, ask if they need help with anything specific!

Certainly! In my previous role, I focused on connecting with customers to understand their preferences. I would ask questions to identify their needs and suggest products that complemented their style, which not only helped in increasing sales but also enriched the customer's experience.

I consistently check the store during my shift and prioritize tidying up areas that seem cluttered. Designing a schedule for regular rack checks and anticipating peak times helps me keep the store appealing. I also believe that a clean environment enhances customer experience.

I remain calm and patient, focusing on listening to their concerns without interrupting. Empathy goes a long way—I always assure them that I'm here to help and try to offer viable solutions. By maintaining a respectful tone, I find that most disputes can be resolved amicably.

In my last job, our team was tasked with a sales target for the holiday season. We collaborated closely, sharing techniques and motivating one another. By hosting mini-meetings, we kept each other accountable, and we indeed exceeded our target by 20%—a true testament to teamwork!

I believe the foundation of excellent customer service is genuine care. Truly listening to customers, understanding their needs, and providing personalized service foster loyalty. Being upbeat and positive is essential as it enhances the shopping atmosphere, making customers want to return.

I follow leading fashion blogs, engage with social media channels, and occasionally attend industry trade shows. I also love to visit various retail stores to observe and gather inspiration. This helps me stay informed about what customers might be looking for and enhances my ability to suggest products confidently.

During busy shifts, prioritization is crucial. I assess the immediate needs of customers and the store. If the floor is busy, customer assistance takes precedence, while replenishing stock can happen during quieter times. Strategically allocating my focus ensures everything gets the attention it deserves.

What motivates me most is making a positive impact on customers' days. I thrive on the energy of connecting with people and making them feel great about their purchases. Occasionally achieving personal sales goals also fuels my drive, turning my work into a fun, competitive experience.

I admire The Normal Brand for its commitment to both quality fashion and customer experience. Joining a fast-growing company with a vibrant atmosphere excites me, and I see this position as an opportunity to bring my passion for retail together with my skills to contribute positively to your team.
