Retail Selling Skills

The brand is decided on the floor, in the first ninety seconds.

All turnshops

Service & Sales

Who It Is For

  • Shop-floor teams, outlets and franchises
  • Store supervisors coaching their own floor
  • Brands whose footfall is fine and whose conversion is not

How It Runs

  • One day to two days, in person, on the floor where possible
  • Role-play against real customers, real products and real objections
  • English and Urdu

What It Turns On

  1. 01

    Open a conversation with someone who said they were just looking.

  2. 02

    Find the need behind the product they walked in asking for.

  3. 03

    Recommend, add on and upgrade without turning into a pest.

  4. 04

    Close, and make the exit as good as the entrance.

The broad outline

  1. 01

    In context

    What your own floor feels like to a stranger. Filmed, walked or described until the room stops defending it.

  2. 02

    Know

    The stages of a retail sale, and which one your team is skipping.

  3. 03

    Go

    Opening without pouncing. Questions that find the need behind the request. Product knowledge as a service rather than a lecture.

  4. 04

    Show

    The floor, rehearsed: the browser, the price objection, the returner, the one who came in for something you do not stock.

  5. 05

    Close

    Floor standards your own team wrote and will therefore keep.

What You Are Left Holding

  • An opening line per team that does not start with can I help you
  • Your top objections answered in your team's own words
  • Floor standards written by the people who stand on it
