Customer Types

There are several different types of customers you will encounter when working at a pet center. Understanding the differences can help you determine what is most important to each customer.

Needs Change Constantly

The most important thing to remember is that customers’ needs may change depending on the reason why they came into the store. Sometimes customers may need a lot of help with a problem their pet is having. Other times, the same customer may just be purchasing food or everyday pet supplies and be in a hurry to get back home.
