'''Introduction to customer service sills'''

A fully rounded training in customer service will serve your cashiers well, but if you only have time for a few things, these are the customer service skills cashiers need to develop:

'''General friendliness''' – General friendliness is essential. Your cashier will need to smile and greet customers if they haven’t previously been working with the customer on the floor.

They’ll need to display a positive and upbeat demeanour throughout the interaction to ensure the customer has a remarkable experience.

'''Greeting''' – Depending on your store layout, cashiers can be the first people that a customer sees. They need to be equipped to get your customers’ shopping experiences off to a positive start, as well as answer their questions and direct them around the store.

'''Cross-selling''' – The cashier will also be the last person to speak to the customer before the sale is officially closed, meaning they have a crucial chance to confirm the customer has found everything they need or to add-on to the sale.

Cashiers who haven’t been working with the customer on the floor should ask if a customer has found everything they were looking for. They should also be trained to ask customers if they’re interested in purchasing whatever small cross-sell you keep at the desk (think gift cards or trinkets).

'''Handling ''' – At many stores, cashiers are the first stop for returns or concerns, and thus, angry customers. So, you’ll have to be sure they’re prepared with the skills (mainly active listening skills) to diffuse situations and turn your angry customer into a happy one. Be sure to arm your cashiers with “phrases of courtesy.” Renée Evenson, the author of , suggests such phrases as “I apologize” or “Will you?” instead of “You will” can make a big difference in dealing with an angry customer.
