The store playbook, as a customer who walks in.
Dealerships, retail floors, hospitality desks and insurance counters rehearse the conversations that convert, with the products they actually sell. Retail, automotive, hospitality and insurance frontline managers.
The problem
- Frontline turnover means the floor is always half new.
- E-learning modules teach the product. They do not teach the moment a customer says they can get it cheaper online.
- Regional managers cannot be in every store for every new hire's first week.
What rehearsal looks like
Step 01
Load the floor playbook
Products, bundles, warranties, trade-in rules, the questions that uncover need.
Step 02
Serve a customer who is in a hurry
A walk-in with a broken device, a competitor price and twenty minutes.
Step 03
Score the conversation the way the region does
Diagnosis before recommendation, attach rate behaviours, honest framing of the warranty.
Step 04
See readiness by store
Which floor is ready for the launch, which one needs the manager on Tuesday.
