Goup Interview? - tanTALK

Stephanie · 01-23-2004, 10:23 PM

It is the time of year to start getting more girls in and I HATE to interview because you never know what you are getting. This year I am going to try something new, I am going to do a group interview. I will bring in 4 or 5 girls and interview them all at one time. I what to see how well they act around the other girls. I will also bring something in with me on the interview and have them try to sell that item to me. I feel if they can't sell the item when it is just me and the other girls how are they going to try to sell something in front of a packed salon. This job is a sales and I want someone who is really outgoing and don't care to talk to people. Let me know if you think this something I should do!!

Goup interview? I just realized there is a typo in the forum title. I though someone was interviewing AG about thier goup lotions...........

I will be doing this Thursday, and I will let you all know how it goes. I hopee this goes well because I hate to interview.

I like the idea of the trial sales pitch. I am often happy with someone's basic interpersonal skills, but sales skills are another matter. I might give that a shot myself. And yes, please do let us know how it goes.

Kind of like a 'Tanning Salon Survivors'? Let us know how it works. Fortunately, I don't have to hire many this year. My year-rounders are willing to double up for the hour$.

I agree, I hate interviewing too. Seems like in the interview they are great and very talkative. Put them behind the counter and sell something? ya right...

I wish I would have used the trial sales pitch when hiring past employees, it is like pulling teeth to get some of my girls to sell lotion...most of the time they just make excuses about why they are not asking them and it really frustrates me...I think I will have my current employees do this regardless and tell them I just want them ready for the upcoming season...Great idea Stephanie, please let us know how it works for you...I am going to have the one girl that works for me tonight do this when she comes in!!! HA..she will not see it coming
