What Do Customers Really Want From Retail? – Recording Now Available

What do customers really want from retail?

It has been reported on multiple fronts that the post-COVID landscape of retail has deteriorated into a state of disrepair that is driving more and more customers to do business online or through local delivery services. Surveys show that customers are willing and excited to visit physical retail stores again if, and only if, they up the experience quality. In this session, we will go over the key elements of customer satisfaction, give techniques on how to dissect the processes in your store to correct the weak points, strengthen the positives, and bring the retail experience of your store to go beyond what customers are expecting.

Be More Profitable by not selling productsThe true path to profitable retail sits in the radical mental shift to realizing that selling products and services is the dividend of our customer interactions, not the purpose. If we do our job right and focus on “why” the customer came to our store we will not only sell more products but build long-term loyalty to our brand.

In this session, we will focus on the key elements of listening skills, questioning techniques, and other tactics to discover the true needs of a customer and solve their problems through the sale of products and services.
