A sales assistant should be approachable, friendly, outgoing. You need to have confidence in the merchandise you are selling and have great people skills. You should also be very customer service oriented -- just know that in the world of retail, the customer is ALWAYS right. A good sales assistant will try their best to accommodate the customer's needs. It is also crucial that they have good listening skills.....they should first listen to the customer and make sure they know what the customer is looking for before they try to answer the question. In cases with an unhappy or dissatisfied customer, a sales assistant should be able to calm the customer down and work with a manager to provide any assistance necessary.

Product knowledge is key. If you appear unsure of the specifics of the products you sell, the consumer will not feel confident in purchasing from you.

Be friendly and confident and even though some people may get ruder to you, always look them in the face and listen.
