How Customer Oriented Employees Create Sales

By Bob Hamilton

Successfully opening a dollar store requires employees who provide outstanding customer service. Those customer oriented employees will create sales in three ways.

First, customers will often spend more money while in the store. Employees who provide outstanding customer service set customers at ease. They focus attention on the customers and their needs. They make it easy for customers to spend more time examining merchandise. They suggest other potential purchases.

Second, many customers will return to the store more frequently. People oriented employees make this happen. The customers may actually start their visit in the store by looking up their favorite employee and saying hello. When opening a dollar store, what a great investment that one or two minutes becomes. Soon that customer is at the cash register with a shopping cart that is filled with purchases.

Third, the very best advertising is the recommendations that your customers make to friends and family. Customers who come from the recommendations of others become buyers very quickly. When opening a dollar store the goal is to have as many repeat customers as possible. Often those first visits will start by looking up the employee who provides great customer service.

Employees who provide outstanding customer service bring in many, many new customers through their actions and treatment of everyone who enters the store.

Training and positive reinforcement, coupled with employees who are naturally warm and caring people lead to success. When opening your dollar store create the customer oriented environment that leads to increased store sales.
