Transforming Store Profitability

Training Services

Retail training supports employee engagement, development and retention and directly links to improved store performance. However optimizing your return from training has its challenges, not the least:

  • High staff turnover
  • Varying skill levels of employees
  • Low rate of retention of training skills – Equation Research said 84% of knowledge is lost within 3 months if not used and reinforced
  • Retail is often seen as a stepping stone to another career
  • Typical retail training programs have their limitations in that the training is generic rather than linked to store operations and strategy, courses remain static often for a number of years - retail is dynamic, focused on either the job role or the industry and fail to educate on the “world of retail” and the interdependencies of running a retail store.

The 6one5® Retail addresses these challenges as follows:

  • Focus on developing Store Management that is area managers, store managers, 2IC’s, department heads and supervisors with a “passion for retail” and a “merchant mentality” through our Retail Mini MBA.
  • Sales and service programs modelled on your best sales and service people to develop your own unique culture
  • A “How to Coach” program so that managers can coach staff so they retain the knowledge learnt.
  • Ongoing measurement and support
  • Programs are customized and link to store operations and strategy
