Sari-sari Store Selling

Sari-sari store selling is fast selling, period. When a person approaches you read even the nonverbals not just the asking of a product. By practice, one can suggests informations on one's product knowledge to help customers decide as fast as possible, not just wait for the undecided customer to say what to order. So much adjustments happen in real time like when stocks of pepsi 8 ounce are out, one suggests as fast as one can the coldest ones in the refrigirator. Of course, it seems money is the reason, quick and easy. But one can balance the approach like if a customer needs more time to think it through, the seller shouldn't show any impatience.
