It’s no secret that there’s a mixed economy out there between retailers. Some are thriving with sales going through the roof – or cloud as it may be – while others are struggling to draw customers back into store. So what makes the difference between those that thrive in a post-COVID world and those that don’t?
Brian Walker, CEO of Retail Doctor Group says, “Success depends on not only having the right strategy, but also on having the right people and processes to implement that winning approach.”
Retail leaders are both born and made with the X Factor, which is measured through the core skills they have accumulated through their careers. This is all thanks to their trainers, mentors and coaches.
Every retail customer both in-store and online is a brand “moment of truth” and the ability to capitalise and improve this moment is critical. The factors retailers need to take into account to shape a great moment is in the shop layout, category management, stock position planning, cash flow management, lifting average items per sale and growing the sales margin.
Great retailers have both knowledge and relationship skills and this will be the X Factor going forward.
