I've been temporarily moved to another store to fill in as 2nd key, and my god, it's like I'm starting from scratch all over again. My speed, patterns, etc are all tuned to the clientele of a much faster, busier city store with well-defined customer patterns, and I'm used to getting someone's purpose, suggesting product, FAB and e-layering everything, confirming their purchase, linking and upselling, making the sale and sending them off happy and satisfied in ten minutes or less.
Now I'm in a quiet freestanding store on a street that has more foot traffic than destination shoppers, the trade is weather-responsive (i.e. it rained cats and dogs today and I barely saw a person until well after two in the afternoon), there aren't any shopping patterns beyond Monday=dead/Saturday=busy and I'm struggling to switch my technique over to suit the much slower, more leisurely shoppers and purposeless browsers. Today my figures sucked, my AHP/AUS was in the toilet and it was generally just a really flat experience.
I'm being positive and taking this as an opportunity to get myself familiar with the products all over again and get excited about things I might have passed over or ignored in the past, but man, I'm so disappointed at how badly I'm doing. Crashing from an average IPT of 3.8 to 1.3 is just painful.
So, yeah. Do you have any tips and tricks to help me switch it up? I need to break my sales patterns and I've made little in-roads here and there, but I really need that extra something. Help me!
