Front Line Retail Selling Skills
If you try to sell your product or service without keeping the customer in mind, you won’t be very successful. Even if you know your product inside and think you have mastered selling techniques, you won’t be a really effective sales person until you consider the customer experience throughout. Considering how the customer feels and makes decisions throughout the buying process, is essential if you want to develop a two way RELATIONSHIP. This is one of the key points in this two day selling skills course specifically designed for front line retail sales professionals.
At the core of this training course, participants will learn and practice a proven, step-by-step sales questioning technique that can be put into action immediately, in any sales situation. This powerful sales questioning technique is all about asking the right questions in a particular sequence. The questioning model helps retail sales professionals lead retail customers professionally and confidently through the buying experience.
Participants will learn how to structure a conversation where the customers feel at ease and have their needs handled speedily. At the same time, they will develop techniques to better build lasting relationships, adapt their communication style, develop trust, and build true customer loyalty that results in repeat business.
