A system and method that provides real-time product and services information to sales personnel so that they may provide accurate and timely information to consumers and to the consumers directly so that they may service themselves.

The device communicates with a vendor computer over a wireless interface to search at least one database associated with a merchant to identify information about products and services that satisfies the request and/or identifies up-sell and cross-sell products and services. The vendor computer transmits retrieved information to the device, and sales associate communicates timely and accurate product information to the consumer.
