    A customer walks in while you are restocking a shelf. What should you do first?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: A. Make eye contact, smile and say hello

    Acknowledge every customer soon after they arrive. Eye contact, a smile and a short hello tell them they have been seen.

  3. Tanong 3 ng 16

    Which of these is an open question?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: B. "What will you be using the drill for?"

    Open questions start with words like what, how or tell me, and invite the customer to talk. The others can be answered with yes, no or one word.

  4. Tanong 4 ng 16

    Why is "Can I help you?" often a weak way to start a conversation?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: B. It is easy to answer "No, just looking"

    "Can I help you?" is a closed question, so customers often end the conversation with a quick no. An open question invites them to talk.

  5. Tanong 5 ng 16

    When are closed questions most useful?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: B. To confirm details once you understand the need

    Use open questions to learn about the need, then closed questions such as "So you need it by Friday?" to confirm details.

  6. Tanong 6 ng 16

    A customer asks where the batteries are. You are free to leave your area. What is the best response?

    Sagot: D. Walk with them to the batteries

    If you can leave your area, walking the customer to the product is better service than pointing.

    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: D. Let them know you'll be with them soon

  8. Tanong 8 ng 16

    Which habit makes store staff seem less approachable?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: C. Chatting with coworkers while customers wait

  9. Tanong 9 ng 16

    A customer in worn work clothes asks about the most expensive TV in the store. What should you do?
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: C. Give them the same full service as anyone else

    Do not judge what people will spend, or whether they are honest, by how they look. Human rights laws protect people from discrimination in services such as stores.

  10. Tanong 10 ng 16

    Ipakita ang sagot

    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: B. Look up, smile and say hello to each customer

Mga madalas itanong

Is this an official retail or customer service certification?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification or an employer, industry or government certification.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Do stores in Canada have to accept returns?

Usually not for a change of mind; most return policies are set by the store. The law can give extra rights in some cases. For example, Ontario customers can ask for a refund if a product was misrepresented, and Quebec has legal warranties on goods.

Does this course replace the accessible customer service training my employer must give?

No. In Ontario and Manitoba, employers must train their own staff on accessible customer service. This course is general background, so take your employer's training too.

Is this course for security guards?

No. It is for store staff who serve customers. It teaches you to calm situations and escalate them safely, not to enforce rules or stop shoplifters.
