would start by asking the customer what his wife's favorite colors are. Then, I would ask if she has any particular style preferences when it comes to clothing and accessories. Finally, I would ask if she has any special occasions coming up that she may need a dress or handbag for. By asking these questions, I can get a better understanding of the customer's needs and determine which of our products would be the best fit for his wife.
