What makes a good ready-to-wear salesperson?

Can you learn to be a good ready-to-wear salesperson?

Like any profession, being a ready-to-wear salesperson can be learned by taking the time to learn the codes and best practices of the business. VDI status is very simple to obtain, and allows you to be your own boss by managing your time as you wish. With complete freedom, become a ready-to-wear consultant and combine business with pleasure.

To become a good ready-to-wear salesperson, start learning about the ELORA collections so that you know what to recommend to your customers. Don't hesitate to keep up to date with the latest trends, which will make them want to listen to you and buy your products. Don't hesitate to give them tips and advice on how to look their best, depending on their body type and skin tone, etc

It's also a good idea to find out about the different sales techniques you can adopt, so that you have the right arguments to sell your products.

What qualities are required to be a VDI?

A love of fashion is an essential prerequisite for being a ready-to-wear salesperson. Of course, you also need to have other qualities, such as liking the products you sell. It's essential to be a good speaker and to listen to the people in front of you.

Showing empathy and taking your customers' needs into account is essential, because not everyone has the same desires. Renewing your wardrobe, having a good time, discovering new clothes, or finding the perfect outfit for a special occasion are all reasons why women or men call on you and your clothing collection. So it's important to know how to adapt to every situation.

How can you tell the difference between you and another sales assistant?

To succeed as a ready-to-wear sales assistant, it's important to know how to talk about clothes. Remember to find out about our eco-responsible commitments, our responsible collections and our protection of the environment. This is an important issue that can be particularly appreciated by customers. That's why knowing all about the brand's history and talking about it can make all the difference and trigger a purchase!

So make the most of your customers by suggesting outfits that suit their body shape, and don't hesitate to compliment them. On the other hand, always be honest and sympathetic if a product doesn't suit a customer.

What you say and what you say, but also your kindness and deep sympathy, can really set you apart from your customers.
