Certainly! In a previous role, I encountered a frustrated customer. I listened to their concerns without interrupting, empathized with their situation, and worked diligently to resolve the issue. By the end of our interaction, the customer felt valued and left with a positive impression of our company, which ultimately led to repeat business.

In a retail setting, I would ensure that I approach customers with a friendly attitude and open body language.

Utilizing promotional materials and providing quick informational handouts can also increase interest.

To reach my monthly sales targets, I would set daily goals for the number of customers I engage with and leads I generate. I would consistently review my performance to adjust my strategies if necessary and seek feedback from my colleagues and supervisors to enhance my approach.
