Here’s the #1 secret to retail success – top retailers spend more time selling

Published by Derek O'Carroll on September 22, 2016

This seems like an obvious statement doesn’t it? If you want to grow your retail business and make a long term success of it – it all comes down to selling more products to more people in more places. Of course it is I hear you say.

But the reality is often very different isn’t it. As you grow the time you spend away from speaking to customers and selling just seems to balloon. More admin. Meetings with accountants and bankers. Inventory management and reconciliation. Reporting. Ordering. The list goes on.

Our retail experts speak to retailers every day and they always tell us that they didn’t get into retail to become accountants or number crunchers but they felt that as they grew this is exactly where they were spending too much of their time. And they knew that it had to stop.

So what marks out those that tackle this problem and have grown their business from those that are struggling to cope? We’ve asked our retail experts to share what their most successful customers do. Their real secrets of success. We’ve also looked at how you can use technology to free up time from these back office tasks and give it back to selling or growing your business.

So join our webinar “Grow Your Retail Business – Spend more time selling and less time counting” to find out more.
