“Companies that employed training on a regular basis posted shareholder returns 86 percent above firms that didn’t increase training and 45 percent higher than the market average”. (American Society of Training and Development)

The 6 Pillars of Retail are: People, Place, Product, Price, Promotion and Pixel (Technology).

While there is a lot to be said about all of the P’s, the majority of productivity and success can be attributed to two Ps in particular, and they are People and Product.

This DMSRetail online training, “Best Practices for Managing a Multi-Unit Retail Operation”, focuses mainly on People – both customers and employees.

Knowing and doing all of the right things when it comes to customers and the people serving them, gives you a tremendous competitive advantage over other managers who are caught up in details and projects that, however important, simply cannot have the same impact on your business.

Undoubtedly you have many tasks and projects that need your attention. And, granted, probably none of them are a waste of your time – you have to do it all and, very likely, you are the only one that can do them. You may not have anyone to delegate tasks and projects to.

However, whatever else you have to do, the one thing that you cannot afford to procrastinate on is your in-store operation – get that working well and you’re almost guaranteed success.

As a DM/AM/or RM, it’s crucial that you understand what your store management and staff need to know, and do, to make your business successful.

They are on the front lines and how well they do will determine whether you are successful or not. That gives your employees an incredible amount of power – it’s up to you to make sure that power affects you and your business positively.

You can do what most retailers do – hire people and provide some training so that they can get the basic job done.

You can hire only those with a high probability of success, train them so they are operationally competent and sales savvy, instill a sense of ownership and accountability, make sure your expectations are clearly understood and agreed upon, provide motivation to excel, provide rewards for achievement of goals and targets and help them to become the very best they can be.

DMSRetail prefers the latter approach. And it is not difficult to do.

Why, then, is it so difficult to find retail stores that are doing all the right things?

The answer is simple: They don’t know how. Many don’t even know what the right things are. It’s not good enough to have a great product and/or a great price. If you truly want to excel in your retail business, you must make sure your customer’s in-store experience is always great too which is the best way to ensure they buy something and keep coming back.

Facilitation of a great in-store experience for your customers requires that you and every single one of your Managers and associates have a strong understanding of the best practices. Everyone who has any contact with your customers, or contact with the associates who have contact with your customers, must be on side. They must have completely bought-in to your vision of the best in-store experience.

DMSRetail’s webinar training “Best Practices for Managing a Multi-Unit Retail Operation” will help you gain a solid understanding of required behaviors and, perhaps more importantly, how to ensure those behaviors are in play in your organization.

Just to give you some idea of the concepts and behaviors we are talking about, here is a partial list of what is needed at each level of your organization:
