Make Your Customer Service A Strategic Advantage

Most specialty retailers pride themselves on their excellent "customer service." So why not make it a competitive edge for you and your stores?

In this lively and timely Webinar of the Week, Pat Johnson and Dick Outcalt, Co-Founders of The Retail Owners Institute®, present the new strategic perspective that owner's must have.

The Co-Founders show how any store – no matter the sales volume, price points, or merchandise – can magnify their own "special" competitive edge.

  • First, they review technology's impact on retail and "customer service."
  • Then, they explain how to create an internal training program that sharpens and maintains your competitive edge
  • And finally, of course, how to evaluate whether it's working!

This fast-paced and inspiring session is packed with (free) consulting insights and tips. Be sure that you (and your key staff people) take advantage and gain these insights.

Your customers will be very grateful!
