Any advice on women selling men's clothes?

I just got a job selling men's high fashion suits, shoes and clothes. I only have experience with women. Is there anything I should know that will help me be a successful salesperson?Any advice on women selling men's clothes?
Something I've noticed when shopping with my partner... Very few long time salespeople SEEM honest... We tend to pick out the newest looking salesperson on the floor because they TEND to give better advice... My partner has NO color sense whatsoever... We don't WANT to hear ';That looks great!';... we WANT an honest opinion from someone we EXPECT to have SOME fashion sense... Not ever color works with every person's skin tone... suggesting something else isn't going to offend us!


Another thing, even if we are checking out the discount rack first, don't write us off... IF we don't find something we like in his size, we will move on and check out the rest of the store... To ignore us (and yes, we've had 3 salespeople chatting amongst themselves UNTIL we left the discount rack) simply means our money isn't worth their effort... The discounted $400 suit may not get you a very hefty commission... but when you add the 3 $75 shirts, the 2 $50 ties.. AND the fact we ARE going to look for the ';good'; salesperson the next time we are in the store, I'd think it's worth your time and effort to come see us at the discount rack...Any advice on women selling men's clothes?
well i guess dont say anything about their size and not so many compliments unless he wants them 4 a reason and thats all i can think of......
