He presses all the right buttons (having a mind like a sewer!) (11)
I believe the answer is:
haberdasher
'a sewer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'he presses all the right buttons having a mind' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'he' could be 'asher' and 'asher' is present in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haberdasher that I've seen before include "Clothier" , "Dealer in small items used in sewing" , "Retailer" , "may do business on the high street?" , "Dealer in sewing items etc" .)
