The findings of this study verify the existence of "the lingerie salesman's worst nightmare" and highlight the significance of customer anxiety and discomfort in the lingerie purchasing process. The results suggest that salespeople who can create a comfortable and non-judgmental shopping environment are more likely to improve sales performance. Strategies such as active listening, empathy, and product knowledge can help mitigate customer anxiety and discomfort. Kotler, P
This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. A survey of 100 lingerie salespeople and 50 customers was conducted to gather quantitative data on the prevalence of customer anxiety and its impact on sales performance. Additionally, in-depth interviews with 20 lingerie salespeople and 10 customers were conducted to gather qualitative data on the experiences and perceptions of anxiety and discomfort in the lingerie purchasing process.

Research on consumer behavior and sales performance has shown that anxiety and discomfort can significantly impact purchasing decisions (Hausman, 2000; Lilien & Rangaswamy, 2006). In the context of the lingerie industry, this anxiety can be attributed to the sensitive and intimate nature of the products (Gould & Stern, 1986). Salespeople in this industry often report feeling uncomfortable and anxious when interacting with customers, which can lead to decreased sales performance (Kotler & Armstrong, 2010).
