Skill set of a good saree salesman

Rohit Mahajan described the skill set a great saree salesman possesses. Many of these skills are necessary for any sales job, but with sarees, your arsenal is infinite, which makes the task a tad more challenging.

The protagonist of this scene is the man who is making the sale, … his job specification/responsibilities is/are quite enormous. If i could list them in a bulleted form, the following would be his process of sale:

* Ask the customer about their preference of style/range/fabric
* Show them some sarees, and try convincing them on as many as possible
* When you have reached the point where the women have still not shown that glint in their eye, bring that “special” saree which you think would make them nudge from their “not buying” status.
* Once you know that they are definitely gonna pick up “atleast” one, confuse them with colours and variety, and constantly argue about how they are letting go of an absolute marvel, which
would have gelled perfectly with their personality.
* Not even once in this entire process could you allow your eyes to take off from theirs, because your actions/suggestions should follow the customer’s reactions (and eyes tell them all )
* During the process, if the women are talking between themselves, use all your energy (and if possible, science ) to hear as to what is their point of worry/confusion/deliberation and strcuture your sale according to that.
* If they have started to pick some sarees from the lot, consider it a positive sign, and try convincing them to pick up as many as u can.
* Once they are done with the filtering, and you see that it might be possible that they buy more than one, start praising each one in their own light, and make them buy quite a lot of them
* If you see that they have made up their mind on buying just 1, be smart and advice them to pick up the expensive one (which should obviously look good at them)

Whoo! What a task! I was awestruck by the skill set that the salesman possessed.
