People who take courses or workshops on their profession demonstrate a commitment to their work. This action indicates to the interviewer that you have a desire to succeed in your career. If you haven't taken any courses or workshops in customer service, sales, or retail success, you could mention books, magazines, or websites that you've read recently. Then, discuss what you have learned about customer service or sales. If you have taken related courses or training, mention these briefly and explain what you learned and how you have applied or plan to use these learnings in your retail work.

"I am a lifelong learner and often go to the library and take out books about customer service and sales. Recently, I read a book by Malcolm Gladwell called 'Talking to Strangers,' and I learned a lot about sales. For example, I learned to push away false assumptions in my interactions and to open my thinking. This mindset helps me guide the customer towards a solution that they'll be satisfied with by asking better questions and spending more time getting to know them. This way, a customer conversation can transition into a mutually beneficial purchase."
