Tips for salesman:
- when he/she come in, they usually buy gold
as gift, try to persuade them to try on and buy
for self as well - make them feel unique and speical, comments
like "of all the customers who have tried the
piece, it looks the best on you" or "we only
made a few pieces of this designs and this
is the last one" can be effective - novel ideas appeal to them, concentrate on
introducing the latest designs and emphasize
the fashionability of the designs - as they are attracted to a lot of of other
priorities like silver and costume jewelry,
comments that compare gold with the others
can work, e.g. saying her skin colour is best
for wearing gold
