Female sales people - anyone dealt with them? How do they rate?

38 replies

Just pondering how many female sales people there are in the various UK (or European) dealerships? There seem to be fewer of them in B&O than in your usual Comet/Curry's/Joh Lewis electrical department, and wondered why this might be...

I don't think I would have any problem discussing my entertainment needs with a woman, but perhaps the old-fashioned B&O fans might. My wife can't stand hanging around while i talk shop with the guys in my nearest dealership, perhaps B&O are missing a trick by not employing more women on the sales floor to add an extra dimension and reach a wider market, particulary in the current financial climate.

Anyone ever dealt with a B&O saleswoman? How do you rate them?

 

Here in Belgrade is one ! πŸ™‚

And she is really good !

There is a female salesperson here in adelaide too, i think she's really fantastic, very personable and with a contagious enthusiasm for the products :)

Never had any problems at all dealing with Female sales staff in B&O stores. Of the dealers local to me, both have at least one female staff member.

When in Exeter B&O a few weeks ago there was a woman working there (i think). If they know their stuff thats OK by me.

The one in exeter is the boss!

I have dealt with various representatives of B&O stores and in the majority have found them very informative.  The worst was a middle aged male who did not know the basics about how systems would be compatible with each other.

  Regardless of gender, I would be happy to deal with any one who has knowledge of their product and accepts you as a potential customer when you walk in the door(despite the fact you may have a beer belly, wear fongs(flip flops) and don't speak like them.  The stores in Australia cater for all demographics.  There are from the young informed, to the mature, various ethnic backgrounds and male/female.

This is an interesting thread. Like Jammy, I just want to speak to a well informed staff member regardless of their gender. However, It does seem to be a predominantly male oriented environment. Perhaps it is not an appealing career in terms of the types of products that are being sold, not retail itself.

I have been to the Exeter store several times and had no idea it was owned by a woman. I'd personally like to see more women in dealers.
