Retailing is one of the most competitive industries due to growing online competition. Some of the biggest retail challenges include offering unique products, reducing margins from competition, hard to find staff, rising costs of staff and overheads, supplier price increase, slow moving stock and high cost of marketing.

Stock + Sales Team + Location = Retail Results

Retailers must get the right stock

Getting the right product is one of the key success strategies of any Retail business. A Product Strategy is essential for success. We often find a lack of focus on product and product development creates the following:

Not meeting Client Needs creating Client leakage
Client Buying Behavior leads to lost sales
Lost sales from lack of focus on core product
Lack understanding Product Profitability analysis
No defined Purchasing strategy i.e. Open to Buy System
No understanding Fast and Slow Moving Stock
Poor performing Product Sales Team
Loss sales from poor Product Training and Testing
Lack of Merchandising and Planograms to drive sales

Building a Strong Retail Team

Getting the right team is essential to all Retail businesses. A Retail Team Leadership and Management Strategic Plan is essential for business success. Our team has seen many issues due lack of Retail team focus including:

Poor recruiting leading to high turnover
Poor performing team due to lack of training
No KPI to drive team performance
Lack team engagement reducing sales
No team accountability or responsibility
Lack of performance management system
Lack of performance measurement process
No leadership and management training
Lack of up date process and systems

Retail Client Loyalty and Growth

Targeting the right clients ensures client retention and acquisition. Lack of robust Retail Marketing and Sales leads to the following:

Client Attrition leading tp loss of sales and profit
Low client satisfaction leads to client leakage
Lost sales from lack of database marketing
Lost sales from lack of client loyalty programmes
Expanding too quickly
Lack of client segmentation
No add on, upselling and add on selling
