Visit any retailer or other type of merchant and ask questions about anything you would like to purchase either now or in the near future. Pick a location where there are active sales staff present (Namely, Apple Stores, Best Buy, Nordstrom, Sephora, Buckle, and car dealers).

As you are participating in the sales process, try to observe how the salesperson presents their product as well as how they handle their dialogue with you, the customer.

Now answer the following questions:

1. Describe thelocationand type of product or service being offered.
2. What kind of sales style and technique did you observe in the salesperson's presentation?
3. Was the salesperson successful? Did you or will you purchase the product or service either at the time of the event or in the future? Explain why or why not.
