Tips to be a Beauty Advisor

Becoming a successful beauty advisor takes a lot of practice and certain skill.

Instructions
a Genuine Smile
Self-esteem
Understanding of Colors
Really Supportive Shoes

1. The first step to being successful is customer service. You have to provide outstanding service to every customer that comes into your department to be able to establish regular customers and build your popularity among them. The next step is probably the hardest. Your store will set certain goals for you to meet with your cash register. The cosmetics cash register isn't in the front of the store were the customers are used to checking out so you have to constantly walk to the front of the store and back to your cosmetics register all day to get people to check out with you.

2. You must meet or exceed these goals or you will constantly be talked to about the importance of the goals and eventually let go of the position.

3.  The red zone includes all of your cosmetics, shampoos, lotions, soaps, razors, deodorants and hair dyes. Your register is usually placed in the center of all these products so that you can fully watch everyone in your department. The store wants you to reach a certain number of sales on your register, but it wants you to catch all the red zone sales on only your register. The goal is usually around 41% up to 50% of the sales on your register for red zone products. It's very hard to catch the customers with red zone products because a lot of them want to pay in the pharmacy or the go to the photo department to pick up pictures and pay. Step four closely follows step three because hidden in your red zone are many items that earn you commission. The commission rate varies on the different products and can be as much as 5.00 per item but most are between 5% and 10% of the price the item is sold for. If you can be lucky enough to make 10.00 extra dollars a day, you will have 100.00 extra dollars on your paycheck if you work a five day work week. The extra money really adds up and is a huge incentive at meeting your red zone sales by getting customers to come to your cash register. The final step in being a successful beauty advisor also includes you making sure your department is completely put together.

4. No one wants to buy a dusty shampoo bottle or a defective pump hairspray.
