I just read through some of the tales in the customers from Hell thread (like the lady who took the brush display with the glued down brushes 0_o) so what sort of customers make your day? Do you like being asked for help and looked upon as an absoloute advisor; or prefer those who simply ask you to collect up some products for them, pay and go with no fuss?

I love a customer who walks into MAC hoping that a little makeup trip will bring them something positive and fun to their day! I also love someone who walks in with an eagerness to learn and who would like to try on products they haven't tried before.
I respond well to questions- lots of them- questions about the company, questions about MAC products, questions concerning our policy, and questions that need an honest opinion about a certain look.
I like being guided right before a makeup application and it truly makes it easier when someone answers all questions concerning their likes and dislikes. However, I appreciate someone who will basically leave themselves in my hands, and who will trust me, without fearing the end result.

I adore customers who are smiling and who seem truly happy to be shopping at MAC. It just makes it even more pleasurable to serve them, and to take that extra step, that extra mile when assisting them.

Clients who walk away happy make my job a happy one! It really puts a smile on my face when someone will say " You're so nice, thanks for your help!" or " This is my favorites counter! I always come here." Even when they don't purchase anything, they walk out with something extra to add to their MAC knowledge and always come back for more!
I think the most pleasurable customer is one who shares the same MAC passion as me. Yes, I do remember that dc'ed lipstick from years ago and together, we can hope they bring it back. Or " Guess what is coming out at Christmas?!!!!!" and when you tell them, their eyes light up and together we oohh and ahh at the further releases.
This is the type of service I used to receive when shopping at MAC and it honestly just fed my addiction and my passion for the company more and more each day.

At this point I'll just take someone that has manners and is patient.

Someone who is going to a wedding/event and needs a full makeover or someone who owns no makeup at all and wants to start, along w/ skincare.

My favorite customer: the girl whose prom makeup I did (and it was freaking awesome, if I do say so myself) and later brought in her prom pictures so I could see what it looked like with the dress- because she was so appreciative and kind. That's my ideal customer, the one who loves makeup and is sweet to work with.

This was me x 2! I didn't have much makeup and I went into MAC to get me started and then a few weeks later I had my bridal shower and had the same MA do my makeup! She even remembered me when I went in to get more concealer and blush two weeks after that when sonic chic was just out, I wasn't sure she remembered me because I was annoying her with coming in every two weeks or because I was a good customer...

So hopefully she (like you) likes the customers that want makeovers for special events and need to start with a makeup/skincare routine.

Hopefully she likes that I was in buying lots of makeup from her and trusted her with my bridal shower makeup cause I really want her to do my makeup for my engagement pictures too!

Now I might go back and get some of the Starflash shadows from her. She's a sweetie and I love buying MAC from her and she did an amazing job on my makeup!

PS: I love these topics that ask for the good stuff (positive things etc.) they just seem to make my day better. (not that the bad customers one was not helpful...I just really like to hear what out there is good about people and how they love MAC)

lol....maybe I'm a hopeless romantic and desperate optimist.

When i started at MAC awhile back (not there anymore) i was SO nervous...but i had this girl who came in with her mom and wanted an eye demo of a smokey eye cause she could never get it right. So i gave her this really cool smokey eye while she watched how to do it. before i was finished she put the mirror down and said she wanted to be "surprised" with the outcome. mind you, i was super nervous for it being my first real client at the counter....when i was done i gave her the mirror and she couldnt even talk! all she said was OH MY GOD, and WOW...she just put her hand on her heart and kept saying how much she loved it and that it was better than she thought it would be!!

anyway, that totally made my day that day! and totally gave me the confidence i needed being the newbie amongst the other girls who had been there for years!

thats my kind of client!!

I totally agree...we get a lot of tourists in our counters and they always come with huge lists. I also love the customers who fax lists in (like at the PRO store)...woot!
