Abstract
In brick-and-mortar retailing, sales personnel play the most important and complex rolewhereby they are the ones who are connected to consumers directly on a real-time basis. It isobserved that the majority of brick-and-mortar retailers in India assume; consumers who walkinto their stores have a clear understanding about their needs and based on their needs theyenquire sales personnel in the store about a specific product/category/brand. Such a significantassumption has created a predisposition and mindset in sales personnel, and they believe thatthey are left with very little room for adding any more products into consumers basket by theway of either cross-selling or up-selling.
