Q. My friend is plus size and wants to completely change her look. She has asked me to help her out with ideas and shopping. What clothes are sexy and in style right now. What about shoes?

shoestoreSale associate Q?If an interviewer asks you to sell them a shoe what would you say?
Q. i have an interview at a shoestore for a sales associate job and my friend said they ask how would you get someone to purchase a pair of shoes? and i think i would be stuck on answering that can anyone help me with this please?
A. The key to "selling" is to present features and benefits to the customer: a feature is something that the item has (This shoe has extra cushioning in the toe.), and a benefit is how the feature is useful (The extra cushioning helps to minimize the impact of walking and running so you won't have pain in your knees and back.)
Ask questions, and really listen to the answers! If someone says "I need black dress shoes, but i can't walk in heels" don't show them a pair of sky-high stilettos, no matter how fierce they are! i know it seems like a no-brainer, but a lot of sales people forget that their job is to please the customer. Of course, there is some "reading between the lines" involved, but it takes a while to develop that 6th sense.
Here's how your interview should go:
Interviewer: Pretend I am a customer. How would you sell me a pair of shoes?
You: I'd ask you what the occasion is first.
Interviewer: I'm going to a wedding. It's outside in a garden.
You: I'd ask you what your dress looks like.
Interviewer: It's light blue and just below the knee.
You: I'd walk you over to the display of metallic flat sandals. (Pick up a pair of sandals) Metallics are really trendy right now, and they're easy to pair with any color (feature), which means after the wedding you'll have no problem finding other outfits to wear them with (benefit). They're flat (feature) so you won't have to worry about having the heels of your shoes sinking into the dirt, since the wedding is outside (benefit). What size do you wear?
Interviewer: 7 1/2
You: (Find correct size and take them out of the box, get those little stocking footie things) Here's a pair your size. Why don't you try them on?
Of course, you'll have to tailor this to the actual answers the interviewer gives. lol
