Last weekend, I went to a Bata store to find some casual shoes. The person helping me was a young guy, probably around 19 or 20 years old. He was friendly and showed me different shoes. He put all his efforts into making me comfortable with options. I almost finalized two pairs of shoes and I could see a good smile on his face as he was about to close a sale.Out of habit, I took out my phone to check some notifications and, in the process, decided to look up the price of the same shoes online. I checked on Amazon and found a 30% discount. Even though I could see the nervousness on the attendant face, I couldn't find the courage to ask him for billing. In the end, I ended up ordering on Amazon because I was getting a good deal. I kept thinking about the guy's face that night, the way it transitioned from smiling face to sad. It made me wonder if he got anything from the sale, even though I bought from the same company. I'm not sure how Bata rewards its store's employees, but if I had bought from him, it might have boosted his confidence and made him a better salesperson in the future.I got my delivery yesterday and I am happy with the shoes, but still confused about whether I made the correct decision or not.#ecommerce #sales #pricedifference

A Humbling Lesson in the Power of KnowledgeAs a marketing professional, I thought I had it all figured out. But a recent experience at Bata Shoe Company taught me a valuable lesson in the importance of seeking knowledge beyond assumptions.During a visual merchandise training session, my superior, Mr Chimusimbe, asked our team what we understood by "POP". To my surprise, everyone answered incorrectly, referring to Point of Purchase. But, the correct answer was Point of Parity. At Bata, we display our products with a POP, which means showcasing our signature brand, Bata shoes, with a clear and consistent message.This experience taught me the importance of seeking knowledge beyond assumptions and not being afraid to ask questions. It's a reminder to keep advancing ourselves, learning from our mistakes, and embracing the power of knowledge.Let's keep growing and motivating each other! #BataShoeCompany #RetailExcellence #MarketingLessons #KnowledgeIsPower #GrowthMindset #ContinuousLearning

Is your market tough today? Try this1975 I was running one of the family’s supermarkets. We had new competition from a much larger store opening too close for comfort. I was looking for ways to improve revenue.Skateboards were at their crazy peak. I rang around local wholesalers & toy companies trying to source some. Nobody had any. Nada. They were selling faster than containers from US & China could be unloaded & distributed.The next day I rang around all the same wholesalers “I’m a skateboard manufacturer, what volume of deliveries within a month can you handle?”. I got some very warm responses.Then I sourced components and tooled up where they weren't available. By the end of the month I had twelve people assembling Keenboards in the former stockroom of my store.Where are your left-field opportunities right now?#salestraining#salesgrowth#businessgrowth#goodtogreat #positivemindset

Sunday Sales Nation - Back in my Al Bundy days a long time ago, I got to work for Nordstrom, when it was just firing up in Northern California. They trained you well, and had a number of long tenured "shoe dogs" that they hired on as well. This was a brutal, commission based open floor, where you competed for customers and every sale counted towards the rent!One of the veteran dudes laughed at a "newbie" who had a lot of sales, but always had the highest percentage of returns. He would "screw fit" customers, forcing them into a shoe that didn't fit, but telling them it did to get the sale. These returns were time consuming back then, running a credit card, booking a return and a reason, and trying to justify why the shoe was sold in the first place.I learned from this sales pro to "Sell Clean." Long term it was not only best for the customer, but also for you. Giving a customer the gift of a "blister" is good in no trade. No Sale is better than a Bad Sale. Get them next time!#sales #salesadvice #selling101

When I checked the #samples for the customer today, I smelled each product one by one🐽 to check if there was any peculiar smell. The assistant said that if there is no client to do business with me in the future, I can apply for a police dog🐕 at customs hahahahah ，seems good too. Every time I inspect the goods for the customer, I will be very careful🤔, especially when checking the samples. The customer will believe my feedback based on their trust in me. If I do not notice the defects of the product, the customer will lose a lot of money in the next order. But In fact, there is no #commission for sample #orders, but I will still be very serious. In addition to checking whether the various product information is true, I will also check whether the touch is sharp, whether the material is #skin-friendly🧐, whether the #packaging is damaged, and whether it is pungent smell, because these things are not visible in the pictures given by the #supplier.I have always believed that I am serious and responsible, so that customers can trust me and be at ease with me. This is the most important element of doing #business❗ And rhetoric is false ❗ #supplier #manufacturer #product #agent #purchase #basket #cup #airtight #jar #bag #seasoning #rack #shelf #acrylic #bamboo #kitchen #storage #box

VF CORPORATION DECIDED TO CLOSE ITS STORES IN RUSSIAThe Russian branch of the American VF Corporation, which owns the #brands Vans, The North Face, Supreme, Timberland and others, will close all #stores in Russia and deal with wholesale deliveries, the company said in a 2022 report.In view of the unstable economic situation, the participants of the company decided to reorient their future activities to wholesale #trade operations, which remains the only line of business that is considered potentially profitable, suitable for maintaining operational and financial stability, ensuring the well-being of personnel and productive contractual relationships with #customers. All retail stores in Russia will be closed, and the staff will be reduced as much as possible with the payment of the necessary compensation upon dismissal.Background: In March 2022, the firm suspended activity of retail stores. Wholesale deliveries and online #sales have stopped. Last year, the company lost more than half of its revenue and earned only 1.36 billion rubles.Read about whether company representatives change their decisions based on financial performance, as well as about development and further plans on our social networks.Source: https://lnkd.in/eauk7rb4#tkm #brandprotection #IP #suspension #retail
