Q: Can I help you?

That reminds me of a stand-up comedian here...
On the furniture department the sales of pillows was not going too well. That was because this shop had them only in two colours, while the other shop across the street had them in ten different colours. Instead of ordering extra colours, that first shop created a salescourse, titles "Do and think towards the customer".,
First, Do towards the customer: "Good afternoon."
Then Think towards the customer. The customer probably wants to buy something, so you ask him: "How can I help you?"
The customer will say something like "I am looking for a pillow".
You, as salesperson explains that he has the choice out of 2 different colours, the customer makes his choice and leaves the building, satisfied.
Reality:
"Do you sell pillows?"
"Good afternoon."
"Yeah, good afternoon, do you sell pillows?"
"How can I help you?"
"Do you sell pillows?"
"Ehhh.."
"Well, do you or don't you sell pillows?"
"Well, we do have them, but we never sell them."
"And why is that?"
"We have the choice of two colours, while that other shop has ten different colours."
"Is that other shop far from here?"
"No, just across the street".
And again a satisfied customer leaves the building.
The morale of that story, maybe you should deviate from your sales pitch!
