On a shop floor, the difference between a browser and a buyer is usually the person who greeted them. This programme is built to turn a sales team into consistent performers: better at customer service, better at selling, and better at closing without the customer feeling sold to.
The day covers practical retail management and customer handling alongside the commercial side of store operations, from merchandising principles and pricing factors through to retail KPIs, upselling and cross-selling, and the leadership habits that keep standards consistent when the manager is not watching.
