Marketing - Psychology
English term or phrase: remain present
Busy periods will happen, and during these periods 1-1 service is difficult. Customers will potentially become agitated and tempers will become frayed.

The only true way to handle such times is by;
- Managing your emotional state
- Remaining present and focussed,
- At all times remembering that selling merchandise is what we are all about

Don´t really know what "present" means here. On Google I found this words in a lot of spiritual texts which sort of meant "not running away from unpleasant things" or "be aware of the present". The monolingual dictionary also gives "mentally alert, attentive"
