Step two is to approach the customer and ask them what item they are looking for.

Once you find out what they are looking for step three begins. Help the customer find what they are looking for. Sell them products based on quality and not on the price. This will help you build the trust of the person, and they will come back knowing you gave them excellent customer service. Make sure to answer any questions that he or she might ask you, and if you do not know the answer find an employee that can help answer it for you.

Supply chain management is also very important. Make sure that if you are an owner of a business that you keep the items that sell the most in your store in stock so that a customer may buy them. If you follow the sales cycle steps you are almost guaranteed on making a sale and keeping your customers happy.
