They wear their name badge with pride, greet teammates with a warm hello, and help ensure the sales floor is clean, organized, and prepared for customers. Before getting started, they review their sales goals, learn about new arrivals and top‑selling items, and stay up to date on current trends and promotions so they’re fully informed and ready to engage, educate, and sell with confidence.
• On the floor, they focus on the customer—offering a warm welcome, making eye contact, and creating friendly, personal conversations to build customer relationships that bring the customers back.
• Throughout the day, they maintain a shoppable space by keeping the counter and sales floor neat, refreshing signage and pricing, and assisting with merchandise moves as needed to support a seamless customer experience. They always finish strong—sharing the Loyalty program benefits, making sure customers have all they need, and ending with a sincere thank‑you, often walking the package around and using the customer’s name.
