Course outline
- Tools you'll need5 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizRetail engagement relies on your own attention and the store's point-of-sale and stock tools. You don't need extra equipment to start, only a clear view of what's in stock.
- First Impressions on the Floor7 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizThe first few seconds of a shopper's visit shape how long they stay and how open they are to help. A warm, natural greeting that gives space works better than a rushed or scripted one.
- Questions That Help Shoppers7 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizGood questions help shoppers say what they need. Open questions about use, budget and preference help you narrow options without quizzing the customer.
- Suggesting Without Pressure7 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizSuggesting a product is helpful when it matches the customer's need. It becomes pressure when it ignores that need. Offer options, explain benefits and let the customer decide.
- Handling Common Shopping Queries7 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizMost shoppers ask the same questions: sizes, stock, returns, price and whether a product is available elsewhere. Know the answers, and know where to find the ones you don't have.
- Ending Interactions Well7 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quizHow an interaction ends is often what customers remember. A genuine thank-you, a useful final detail and a warm goodbye leave people wanting to return, whatever they bought.
