Who Benefits From This Program?
All employees interacting, enhancing and engaging in our customer’s experience at any touch point within the store.
Competition drives the need for our Front Line Associate Series
Price competition is rampant. Your competitors use price to entice customers. Price customers are elusive in that they come in, focus solely on price, and since their objective is strictly price-focused they leave without engaging your front line associates. Price customers are not store loyal and don’t add to your gross margins- unless your front line associates are able to engage them. The Front Line Series helps you get the edge on price competitors by showing your associates how to be engaging, to understand customer psyche/behaviors/attitudes, and to become experts at the “moment-of-truth” customer opportunities. The Front Line Associates Series is based on the art and science of customer service.
