Los Angeles, CA

I haven’t conducted a formal demo before or worked inside Whole Foods, but I do have hands-on experience engaging with customers in a fast-paced setting. As an ice cream scooper at Van Leeuwen, I regularly interact with customers of all ages, helping them choose flavors, offering suggestions, and making the experience fun and welcoming. I allow them to try different samples and encourage them to ask more questions they might have about the products. That role taught me how to approach people positively, read their body language, and keep energy high, which will translate really well to a demo environment.

I approach shoppers by having a warm and positive energy. When shoppers pass by, I will greet them with a smile and a quick engaging hook such as "Would you like to try a creamy pistachio milk alternative?" If they stop, I will offer them a sample and share a few key highlights about the product, like its unique pistachio base and how it’s a delicious, trendy alternative to other milks. I tailor my pitch based on their reactions and responses. For example, if they mention being lactose-free or plant-based, I will connect the product directly to their needs. Most importantly, I will stay positive. A friendly, informative approach makes shoppers more open to trying and buying the product.
