I know but I'm SOOOO Broke! Well, I mean, I have $500 saved up from my tax return but it's so nice to have that stashed back-- I'm trying to think of ways to not use it. It's so tough.
That' 50% discount would certainly help!

I loveee going through the books and stuff with customers, it's so funny when they are like "ooh do you remember ____" and I can rattle off the name, price, style number and I love it. It's so ridiculous how much stuff I have in my little noggin!
I need to do research on the older styles! I only know all the new ones. What do you recommend for research? The site?
Eh, not so much the website! I learned basically from looking at the books/old catalogs in the store.
As far as visuals go, though, wouldn't the drilldown be a start?
actually once you start working and you are a good worker you'd get the hang of it, it's not that hard.
i don't want to say that the work we do is nothing, but it certainly is a lot easier then when i was working at gap and when i teach i can tell you that for sure.
when a customer comes in, and there is a style they are looking for, usually it's a bag that dates maybe a year ago, max, if any further then that it cannot be ordered anyways
so memorizing that far back isn't that hard, esp. when you're around bags all day.
also the price range are usually the same, like currently the small ergo hobo is 328, the larger is 100 more, same with the hobos but the hobos the medium starts at 268, and the larger is 368
noticing things like that, the patterns, it gets easy, and the numbers are within the same group too.
and then there are stuff like signature satchel that costs 328, as well as the leather version (if any) but the pebbled would be 20$ more (usually, same with shoulder totes).
also, B stands for brass, and S is silver, when you're looking at the color codes
then you kinda get the hang of it.
and the tools they have there are super helpful.
they have a binder full of different types of leather (with actual examples for you to feel/see)
they also have a current assortment binder that has all the current styles and older styles (usually up to a year) that has the care/material info in the back
as mentioned, tools of the trade on the computer POS would also give info such as the orgin, the material, the lining, the dimensions, including colors made, price, and how many total are in store and Jax.
don't worry! if you have a passion for bags, and you are hired as a sales associate the very most important thing is to be able to sell, and when you are passionate about a brand and love it, it shows and it makes it that much easier for you to sell the bags.
OK, I just have to throw in my 2 cents here. MS Whitney and Sprinkles I hope you can comment. The Coach boutique in my town has been open less than a year, but enough time for gals that work there to be educated on all thing Coach. Yet, it seems like every time I go in there to inquire about something not yet in the stores they have no idea what I am talking about. For example, last month I went in to ask about the watercolor stripe and talked to the manager and she didn't know what I was talking about! I had to show
her a picture. Still, nothing. It is just really frustrating to be more educated than the people that are paid to work there.

My store in California (that I would go to like 2 times a week) offered me a job several times. If I didn't already work so damn much at my regular job...it would be worth it for the discounts!!!!!!
Go go go go for it! What an awesome opportunity! I'm going to fine-tune my Coach knowledge, I want a job at Coach!! 
Congrats on the offer. 
I think you should definitely go for it also. I am relatively new, but from your posts you are very knowledgable and I think you would do an awesome job. I agree, not a lot of SAs know that much about the products in the boutique where I shop and they do not take the time to talk or see if you have questions.

I'm going in today at lunch to turn in the application. She wants me to turn it in ASAP. The Assistant Manager wants to introduce me to the manager. We'll see what happens...!
