NAMM U Sessions - Retail Ideas

What a great way to kick off Summer NAMM! In just 20 minutes, you will hear seven retailers tell you what they’ve done to improve their business. The best ideas are the easiest to explain—that’s why they work.

Employees “get it” so they know what to do. Customers “get it” so they know what to buy. And you will “get it” when you attend this session. You will also “get” a kick of motivation, a short list of proven ideas to take home and a head start for the fall and holiday selling season!

It’s one thing to find and hire the right people in your business—but it's another to motivate and energize your employees so your customers appreciate doing business with you. If you want to create happy and satisfying customer relationships, it starts with your employees. Get your staff charged up and working together as a winning team. Your customers will catch the confidence and enthusiasm!

Gayle Beacock is a perfect model for ‘the effective employee’. Learn how she keeps herself and her staff motivated through practical tips on listening, communicating with confidence, managing priorities, setting and reaching goals, and thinking like a manager.

You will learn how to establish and manage a fun, creative climate where your staff works as a team and knows how to recharge and stay motivated.

How many times have you said, “That’s a great idea!”? Probably a lot. How many times have you actually tried to implement that idea? Probably a lot less often. If you want to learn how to transform an idea into an “action plan,” you need to attend this session!

First, you will hear five retailers tell you what they actually did to improve their business. Then, together, we will discuss the ways that you can customize the ideas to fit your store. This will be a highly interactive session. You will take home a personal “action plan” to start implementing on Monday morning!
