Your Personal Shopping Tech

Hello and welcome to My Shopping Tech!

My name is Mary G. and have a varied background in Information Technology, Retail Sales, Advertising, Publishing and Administrative work and I'd like to put all that knowledge to work for you.

At every step of my career from being a secretary, sales person, customer service person or IT professional, I've met people and continue to meet people who basically want fairly simple solutions to their problems. They think the solutions to their problems should be simple, and in most cases, the solutions are simple once they know what they're doing. The difficulty is getting to the simple.

As consumers, and every day people, we are bombarded with corporations and specialists who make money and justify their highly paid expertise by keeping things complicated.

This excessive and purposeful complication leads to wasted time and wasted money.

As a sales person, my job is to explain things and to cut through the complex to make your shopping experience worthwhile.

Everyone hates to return something. If you shopped for something yourself, you feel like you've made a mistake or taken a gamble. If you had sales assistance, you feel as if the sales person might have mislead you or the product might have not been up to par.

More than likely what probably happened was a misunderstanding between the salesperson and yourself. Or you might have rushed into a store, or made an online purchase hoping for a quick solution without a thorough understanding of the problem. This very often happens to people, especially with electronics.

What it boils down to is, if the initial information is lacking or if the consumer is confused, or doesn't know exactly what they want, then the salesperson has to second guess the customer, or even mind-read. The result is generally a mediocre shopping result.

As I've been on both sides, sales person and consumer, I can offer you some unique perspective on shopping for every day things from computer electronics, home electronics, food, clothing, and other unique and trendy gifts and services.

Take me shopping with you and armed with a little preparation and the right questions, your shopping experience can be be faster, more informed and a lot more fun!
