During interviews they always ask about upselling and meeting targets. How much pressure is there actually on hitting sales numbers in most retail stores?

I think it's a big thing before you join, then you realise nobody cares or is trying to achieve and it's just one of them thins they'd like from higher management.

I don't do any selling, but based on the way the sales reps act, a lot. They all seem so stressed out all the time. They make more than I do (duh), but I don't think I'd ever want to do it myself.

We say it’s a light sales position. We aren’t tracking metrics and quotas. I’m at a large chain. I imagine it’s probably very different at smaller or more boutique stores.

i work at a jewellery store. we upsell ‘add ons’ which are more quality earrings than everything else we sell, and i have to sell a few bundles of them every shift, constantly pushing them to customers, and if i don’t reach my daily target it puts the store down as we have a target to reach, personal and business

In a luxury space, it’s paramount. More sales = more commission. The associates always seems really into it, even encouraging me to buy and use my discount with them

I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
