Lessons from the Shoe Aisle: Improving the Shopping Experience For Any Retailer

Good day Kirsten Joy, 

 

I know many people who made money selling in the retail industry - particularly in shoes. The whole experience was one of pampering and catering to the customer.

Because here's the thing: if all your clerk can do is run and fetch products from a stockroom - aided by an iPad or not - they add no value to the transaction.

 

A part-time job selling shoes is where I first learned much of what I still teach today about persuasion, presentation skills, energy, sales techniques in retail, teamwork, and success.
