Speaking exercise

The sales asked me what stuff do you want to buy and I answered I would like to buy a scarf  and a dress
And when she her dress she was happy, if the price of the product is expensive if can contribute to her monthly performance so I went to the third floor to try the dress but I think it fits for me but it is very expensive and I told her I will not buy this dress and she was very cold.
Because before that she was very nice. eventually I just bought a scarf.

In terms of the amount of all products.
Before I went there I think it will happens.

In the red book many bloggers share the story how the sales treated them.
Most of the bloggers would buy their stuff.

Some bloggers said that some customers can complain and maybe their attitude would change.

Luxury brands can put their price higher once a year to make sure their valuable

the concrete and specific goal is to earn above 200,000 per month.
I achieve this goal just 1 month last year but I hope I can achieve that every month.

And when she heard dress she was happy, if the price of the product is expensive it can contribute to her monthly performance / she can get a good commission on it. I went to the third floor to try the dress, I thought it fits me but it was very expensive/the price was steep and I told her I would not buy it and she became very cold. / suddenly her attitude changed a lot / suddenly she became very cold.
Because before that she was very nice. eventually/in the end I just bought a scarf.

If I hadn’t bought the scarf I would have felt ashamed (3rd conditional)

The commission is based / is calculated  on the amount of all products.
Before I went there I thought it would happen.
