What the interview asks

2. Can you work weekends, holidays and sale days? Answer honestly, because these are the busiest days for the stores you cover.
3. How would you sell a product to a shopper who isn't interested? Ask what they need first, then explain one real benefit without pushing.

Do I need experience to work as a promodiser?

Both. Some brands hire part-time for weekends and sale events, while others hire full-time promodisers.

What should I study to become a promodiser?
