Unlike the traditional hard sell approach where you are constantly ‘pushing’ the customer to close right from the start- thus making the customer feel uncomfortable, manipulated or threatened, with the G.R.E.A.T. Sales Model, the salesperson takes time up front to build a sincere, committed relationship by investing time in learning about the customer’s needs. This helps build trust between the two. Then, every step of the sales process that follows is conducted with the relationship in mind, ensuring an enduring and lasting relationship, leading to repeat business and referrals. The G.R.E.A.T. Sales Model helps you in many ways: It first of all instills in you that only great service stands out. It gives you a structured approach to handling your customers which is an acronym for our 5 step powerful sales model- the key to successful retail selling: G-Greet customers R-Revealing questions-Understanding needs E-Explain, enlighten, engage, enthuse, excite, customers about your product A-Answer customer’s concerns and objections T-Techniques to help customers ‘buy’…as people, hate being sold! (Selling to the opposite sex, Generating additional sales, Suggesting complementary/ Add-on products- Up-selling/ Cross-selling) With this powerful model, most of your time is ‘invested’ in uncovering the customer’s needs and proving value of your product, before you actually recommend it, thus eliminating many objections. The G.R.E.A.T. Retail Sales & Service Workbook will provide you a step by step approach into professionalism where you will gain a full understanding of the psychology of both the buying and selling processes, working through these 5 steps, practicing and mastering the skills at each stage, so that they are developed and reinforced, thus enabling you ‘win, provide a positive experience and keep customers for life’!

One woman's midcareer misadventures in the absurd world of American retail. After losing her job as a journalist and the security of a good salary, Caitlin Kelly was hard up for cash. When she saw that The North Face-an upscale outdoor clothing company-was hiring at her local mall, she went for an interview almost on a whim. Suddenly she found herself, middle-aged and mid-career, thrown headfirst into the bizarre alternate reality of the American mall: a world of low-wage workers selling overpriced goods to well-to-do customers. At first, Kelly found her part-time job fun and reaffirming, a way to maintain her sanity and sense of self-worth. But she describes how the unexpected physical pressures, the unreasonable dictates of a remote corporate bureaucracy, and the dead-end career path eventually took their toll. As she struggled through more than two years at the mall, despite surgeries, customer abuse, and corporate inanity, Kelly gained a deeper understanding of the plight of the retail worker. In the tradition of Nickel and Dimed, Malled challenges our assumptions about the world of retail, documenting one woman's struggle to find meaningful work in a broken system.

Introducing the science of shopping and how to understand customer behaviours and needs, it explores the essential steps of developing a business plan, marketing and promoting a business and advising on buying and visual merchandising.
