Retail is the point where the seller presents the product or service to the buyer. The seller or salesperson tries to get the buyer, or consumer, to purchase the offering. That’s the essence of retail jobs – salesmanship.
It includes the ability to understand the need of the customer and persuade him or her that the product fulfills it handsomely. But that’s not all, Retail jobs are also about keeping track of available stock and ensuring that there’s enough to sell but not too much (so that money is not locked up); about watching out for the consumer’s moods and shifting needs; about finding ways to excite the consumer’s desire to buy with a promotion of some sort; and of course about ensuring that the product meets profit targets. Whether the retail job is about trucks or tea, every retailer needs to know these things.
