Ignorance: Good salespersons don't...Four reasons:<BR/>1. Ignorance: Good salespersons don't necessarily smile because they're nice, but because they KNOW it's bound to increase their sales.<BR/>2. Lack of proper competition: If they know someone else will treat you more nicely, they will be forced to do so too. Alas, they seem to know their peers are just as unprofessional.<BR/>3. Underqualified staff: The average shop owner will hire low-class, uneducated personnel to take care of customers, thinking it's better for the business since he/she will have to pay them less.<BR/>4. Lazy customers: Yes, I must say this in order to be fair. If enough customers boycott shops with rude staff instead of swallowing their pride in search of a lower price (average Egyptian consumer), owners will be forced to think twice before hiring cheap staff.<BR/><BR/>Smile!

Specially in Cairo.<BR/><BR/>I've known for a while that Egyptians in general are lousy merchants and sellers. Compared to Syrians and Lebanese we are losers.<BR/><BR/>Even in professional conduct, with companies, the seller isn't interested in serving you, nor does he care about keeping your business. Sometimes he even thinks that selling you is a favour which HE is doing to you.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I can't resist the urge of asking the seller: "How come you're still in business!"<BR/><BR/>Part of it, again, is a misinterpreted belief that it is not the customer, but god, who is the reason for his livelihood.ألِفhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671465044126757555noreply@blogger.com
