When talking to a customer, how can I explain the benefits of reupholstering instead of them throwing the piece out?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Calico in Jan 2011
Interview
1st a telephone interview, and set up a visit to the store and a face to face interview. Even though this was only a p/t position a test was given on very, very basic math skills. Then during the interview I was asked about fabrics and how I could sell, how would I approach a customer and how would I followup. Furniture sales seem to be extremely important. Goals were discussed and there is a dollar per hour goal even for p/t people. Not sure how the quota is handled when you aren't working if your client comes back into the store, not very clear on that. If quota is not meet there is possibility of being reprimanded & being let go. Store did not seem busy so we walked around. Pretty environment.
