Nowadays, the jewelry industry is not about the marketplace.A sales person simply sells products.But one of thefacets of customer service is the selling of image and reputation.With the growing interest in how totrain and createbetter salespeople, there are now diverse services catering to the understanding of the behaviors, attitudes, andemotionsof both seller and customer.
In fact, retailers in department and discount stores have gone to a great deal of trouble in order to meet the emotional needs of store associates, managers, and customer.However, most studieshave concentrated on the customer.
Therefore, this study investigates the emotional dissonance between jewelry sellers and customers.The result of the study concludes that if a sales person in the jewelry industry tends to have less problems if he or she is outgoing and extroverted.Conversely, one has more problems if he or she is emotionally instable or demands perfection of himself or herself. The study also concludes that emotional dissonance negatively impacts theseller's psychological well-being as well.
There were somevariables in the study, including the consideration of individual personality, gender, experience in the business, and the type of store (department stores, discount stores, wholesale and retail stores). This study has a significant impact, being that it is the firststudy that focuses onthe sales person's emotional state as opposed to the customer's.The study will therefore have positive implications and make contributions to the growth of the jewelry industry and inner marketing strategies by managing employees.
