So there's a shop, and one day I ran in there, and the salesperson at the cosmetics counter was super, super enthusiastic as she ran over to me. She said, "Oh, miss, your skin looks really nice! So you really need to protect your skin." And then it was about how great their toner is, and how great this other thing is, and if you use them the results are definitely going to be great.

其实你碰到客户的时候,你不要去急于地表达你的东西。因为你都还不知道客户到底要什么。客户要的东西,即使你知道他可能是要化妆品,但是你知道他要化妆水,还是要粉饼,还是要什么东西?那么这肯定是不成功的。
Actually, when you first meet a customer, you shouldn't rush to bring up your stuff, because you don't even know you what the customer wants. You might know that the customer wants cosmetics, but do you know if it's toner, or powder, or something else that she wants? That's not going to work.
