I am based in Ireland and became unemployed last Sept. A golden opportunity. I am preparing my self to give Sales Training Courses and am targetting the Retail sector because of the vary reasons within your article. I am undertaking some foot-work research to gather factual real life experiences of my own. And I am having a laugh at some of the 'salespeople' I am 'meeting' within stores. Do the owner/managers of these stores not realise that these people have been asking the same frigging questions for years "Can I help you" and getting the same negative responses "no, just looking thank you". What is with these people. Do they not know that a small shift in attitude and behaviour (based on positive training) could have a dramatic impact on their bottom lines. Whow, what a waste of potential. And it's not just in retail. As part of my research I sent emails off to 4 training companies enquiring about Retail Selling Courses. Only one of them replied. What do you think of this for a reply: "Kevin, I know we have this training on our website but we have no demand for it in the current climate, therefore we have no courses planned in the near future. Regards, " Anyway Marcus, I'll contiue on with my research and preparations. Best Wishes. Kevin Byrne Drogheda, Ireland. What a wonderful and poignant article Marcus.

Things have a way of working themselves out though. The "order taker" is quickly going the way of the dinosaur.
