Colan).Customer service can be seen as vital in the sphere of modern business, therefore the purpose of the two day Front-House Course is to equip the salesperson with more confidence to optimize sales by giving each client that enters their shop, the buying experience of a lifetime.The course is a combination of the most important aspects of the first four retail modules that includes customer service, merchandising as well as selling skills and is perfectly suitable for junior personnel.

 

 

 

Cashier Service Excellence Course


Suitable for all staff members who work on the front line

 

This one day intensive Cashier Service Excellence Course was specifically designed for the retail environment and is suitable for all staff members who work on the front line.It is a well-known fact that customers experience Moments of Truth in any business they enter.These moments include the first interaction with a staff member as well as the point of purchase.In most retail businesses this means that the cashier has a huge role to play in the over-all customer experience. This course should empower staff members to deal with everyday situations in a better manner and also ensure the growth of the business.Role plays based on commonly experienced situations form an integral part of this course.

 

Category Management Course


For the multi-category store

 

This two day Category Management Course was specifically designed for the multi-category store to assist store managers and their personnel to increase sales through analysis, planning and better merchandising.

An average supermarket visit takes approximately 22 minutes, which means a customer will experience less than 7 seconds worth of exposure to each category if there are 200 categories.Considering that more than 70% of purchase decisions are made in-store, there is a huge opportunity to increase sales if the categories are well managed and displayed.
