so it’s been about three weeks since I started working at Nordstrom and my second week selling is almost over. I’m really confused but my manager set my goal for sales really high. The section in the women’s department I work in is where more of the cheap / not good quality clothing is. There are also always 2 other people on the floor with me and not many customers mostly returns. I have only a few days to make up the rest of my sales goal and I’m not confident I’ll reach it. I’m a new hire so I’m not sure why my sales goal was set the same as people who have been here for 3 years. I feel confident that I’m a good and convincing salesperson it’s just hard because there aren’t many customers for me and two other sales people.

Hi!! So I’ve been working as a salesperson for about a week now and I wanna hear from shoppers!! How can I not seem annoying or pushy as a salesperson? What makes you feel comfortable as a shopper when a salesperson wants to help you? I don’t want it to seem like I’m just pushing my clients or shoppers to just spend money even though if we’re being honest it is a factor because it’s how we get paid. But I don’t want to seem annoying. When you shop what makes you think hmmmm I’m enjoying this experience. In general too!! Any advice is appreciated :)

I just started working a new job and im not home during the day very often. My cat has been keeping my up all night. She never really used to do this. Constantly jumping around everywhere. Biting my feet, chewing my chargers, knocking things down. And even when im home just constantly jumping and attacking me and it’s getting really bad. The only change is that im gone more often. I try to play with her when i get home. But I don’t think it’s enough. My cat though is very anti social. I think she may have anxiety. When people come over she sits near us but if anyone tries to touch her or play with her (even me) she hisses and runs off. She doesn’t attack though. I took her over to my sisters house (my sister has my cats sister from her litter) and she hid the whole time and hissed at my sisters cat (never hit though) im wondering if it’s a good idea to get another cat? My cat has a lot of energy and is very playful but also doesn’t like other cats and people (unless she’s seen the people very often she’ll give in) is it a long process or is it a bad idea?
