選購服裝
買衣服對于男人和女人來說是不同的經(jīng)歷。男人買東西是因?yàn)樗行枰K哪康氖敲鞔_的,預(yù)先確定的。他知道自己需要什么,他的目標(biāo)就是要找到這樣?xùn)|西并把它買下來。所有的男人只是走進(jìn)商店,向售貨員詢問要買的東西。如果商店有貨,買賣通常不到5分鐘就能順利完成,雙方言辭無多,皆大歡喜。
對男人來說,如果商店沒有他所需要的東西,就可能會有點(diǎn)麻煩。在那種情況下,售貨員會竭力賣給顧客其他的東西——他會主動取出與顧客想要的那件最相近的貨物。精明的售貨員會很有技巧地一邊拿出一件替代品一邊說:“我知道這件夾克不是您想要的樣式,但您可以試試大小。它正好是您要的那種顏色。”男人中很少有人對這種服務(wù)表現(xiàn)出耐心,因此他們通常會回答:“這正是我要的顏色,也許大小也正合適。但是我試穿這件衣服是在浪費(fèi)你我兩個人的時間。”
女人選購衣服的方式與男人恰恰相反。女人逛商場常常不是出于需要。她從不完全確定自己要買什么,只是“逛一逛”而已。她總是愿意接受售貨員的勸告,多少件衣服都樂意試穿。她認(rèn)為最重要的是找到每個人都認(rèn)為是適合她的東西。大多數(shù)女性顧客對價值都有很好的意識,因此購物時總是留意著能否意外找到便宜貨。面對一整屋的衣服,女人很可能會花上一個小時從這個貨架走到另一個貨架,然后挑選出自己想試穿的衣服。這個過程雖然累人,但對女人來說顯然是愉快的。大多數(shù)服裝店都會為等待的丈夫準(zhǔn)備好椅子。 |
