Customer Service& Sales•The H.E.L.L.O. Model This is a unique model for helping staff to engage with their customers in a natural way. We look at how to communicate with different types of customers, identify their likely needs and this will complement and dovetail with Spar’s Sparkling Service initiative. •5 P’s In this Session we examine the constituent parts of the Sales and Customer Service process, how Store Managers can instill and maintain excellence and how each of the ‘P’s’- Presentation, People, Performance, Production and Product - link and cross fertilize
•The 3 R’s for Customer Complaints We look at some practical every day complaint situations and practice the use of the 3 R’s as a method and process for responding to customers
•Customer Shoes This highly popular activity, exclusive to Training Concepts, has been designed to produce the following outcomes;
To improve the interaction and relationship between Retail Managers , Assistant Managers and their Staff and their Customers To increase knowledge of Retail Managers , Assistant Managers and their Staff of Customers……Managers get to know and recognise more Customers and develop a greater understanding of their Customers’ needs To demonstrate how to engage with Customers to obtain meaningful feedback in a simple way and how to respond positively to this feedback To give confidence and motivation to Retail Managers , Assistant Managers and their Staff to be pro-active with customers on the shop floor so that Customers feel that …..they are valued and important, you are interested in their views and that you aim to provide a superior personal service To enable Retail Managers , Assistant Managers and their Staff to be role models for Customer Service and to set an example to all employees To see the store /shop and the service we provide from a Customer perspective and to react positively to our observations i.e. to put ourselves in the Customers’ Shoes To incorporate ‘serious fun’ into the learning objectives so as to make the learning inspirational and practical
h el l
Offer your customer options if the first choice product is not availableEncourage the customer to look at other suitable options – perhaps something they had not thought aboutEncourage and give them confidence to try on and experiment with different outfits
Learn from what you are being told by your customer. Ask for more information to back up what they are saying and be prepared to act on this information.
Have the desire to say ‘hello’ to your customers. Think how you can introduce yourself e.g. ‘Hello. Thank for coming in. Have you been in our Store before? Whether you receive a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ you can then say .....‘A lot of our new Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter clothes have just arrived. Can I just quickly tell you where everything is?
Listen to what your customer is telling you and show that you are really interested. Encourage your customer to give you feedback. Don’t speak and definitely do not interrupt until your customer is finished.
Engage your customer. Establish and maintain eye contact and, above all, smile. Ask relevant, open questions like For a new customer ....What was it that made you pop in to the shop?For an existing customer ........‘What is it you like about our Store and our clothes?’

Managing Diversity
•The D.I.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y EnneagramParticipants learn about the important elements of an effective diversity policy and implementation by building the D.I.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y. Model. The workshop activity is highly interactiveand is simply constructed to make it very easy for employees, whether from the shop floor or an office desk, to learn, how they should respect, speak and act appropriately towards colleagues who have diverse cultural, religious, sexual, political beliefs or who may be of a different creed or colour or suffer from some form of disability.
•Emotional Intelligence: Good words and ugly wordsWe examine how people manage their moods and the effects of negative emotions on others, the language used in the workplace and we differentiate between ‘good’ words and ‘ugly’words and how people react to both. We also consider the effect of open and closed questions – what this description of language means and how people respond to both types of questions.
• Different Strokes for Different FolksMay we introduce you to a variety of different people, in caricature form, whom you will undoubtedly recognize. How do we recognize and deal with diverse cultures, characters andbehaviours in different situations?

4. Stages 4,5, and 6 are likely to be repeated several/many times during the performance calendar
5. Review Stages 1 & 3 periodically – Quarterly or Half Yearly
6. Stage 2 – if properly completed should only need to be checked out on an Annual basis unless there is a dramatic change in your Reportee’s circumstances
7. Stage 7 is ongoing and should involve transfer of Best Practice, introduction of new standards and targets etc.,

• Business Competencies Consider that competencies may be described in three dimensions. Firstly, the Attitude Competencies which include Positive Attitude, Emotional Intelligence, Self Esteem etc. These portray a person’s approach to their job. Secondly, the Application Competencies illustrate how the job is carried out and finally, the Achievement Competencies reflect how the job is completed. The development of individual skills begins with awareness and use of knowledge which progresses to competence which, when fully enhanced, develops into fully fledged skill. For the purposes of developing your skills in Sales and Client service - the two are inexorably linked and one does not happen without the other - we have constructed a Competency Suite, identifying eleven competencies. Two of the competencies in our Suite relate to Attitude, six refer to the Application Competencies and the remaining three focus on Achievement.
•S.T.A.R. Concept The measurement of behaviour in the Coaching process is crucial and we offer Participants the opportunity to understand and then use the S.T.A.R. concept. This will enable people to break down achievements into four constituent parts -Situation, Tasks, Actions, Results - and to use the results as a benchmark for continuous improvement.

People Management•The Magic Stick & The 5 C’s
The Magic Stick Activity revealed how the 5 C’s represent another potent example of the use of triggers (or anchors) to sustain learning. When you think of the letter ‘C’ in future you may
recall, more easily, what this represents and how this relates to you in your everyday job.
Put another way, if you are able to consistently implement each of the ‘C’ s there is little doubt that you will improve your overall performance considerably. When some of the C’s are being used you will make some progress – when none of the C’s is being used you will make little or no progress. Therefore, the rate and quality of your progress will be influenced by the extent to which you embrace the 5 C’s
• Colour Blind Interaction and communication with customers is crucial. Colour Blind - a stimulating Group exercise - is used to demonstrate the importance of effective listening and we examine the basic principles of Neuro – Linguistic Programming (NLP) to enhance communication skills Listening ..... to what people are saying (or not saying) hearing is not the same as listening listening to how people describe things Asking ...... questions rather than telling or assuming when making statements make sure that you stick to the facts not opinions offer an opinion but do not force your opinions on others Awareness ..... of your own behaviour and the impact you have on others
put yourself in the shoes of others .i.e. your colleagues and your customers

speaking in proper proportion and timing

When you find out what makes each Employee ‘tick’ your job as a Manager becomes so much easier. This, of course, is an elusive skill for many to master especially given that many employees do not know or have really considered what motivates them. One thing is certain, whether they believe it or understand it everyone is motivated by something – often more than one ‘thing.’
I will give everything to a
leader I can trust and who keeps
promises
‘I work best when I have a routine and I know what
to expect’
‘The job gives me confidence that I did
not have before and I feel much better
when I am confident’
‘The job is attractive because of the Salary and Bonuses it offers
me’
‘The hours suit me. It’s really great that I can walk to work and be able to pick up the
kids from school’
‘The job provides for the lifestyle I desire and enhances my
standing in the community’
‘I love the social side- the people I work
with and customers I meet’
‘I respond positively when I know that I
can achieve promotion in my job’
‘The working conditions and
atmosphere are really important to me’
‘I am motivated when I am learning new things and gaining more knowledge’
‘I suppose I just need to belong to
‘something’ and feel part of the team’
‘I like Challenges - this always
stimulates me’‘I know I need to feel secure to do
well’
‘I just need the job to see me through to retirement in three
years’
‘I need to feel valued and recognised for what I do. A ‘Thank you’ means a lot to
me’
‘I love getting and setting targets and
beating them. I always want to be the best I can be’
‘I have the opportunity to
develop my skills which really
motivates me’
Of course, I can help you get what you
want and this is what I need you to do get it.
Do we have deal?
Ok then - it’s a deal!
Each of us is motivated by our needs. Our most basic needs are inborn, having evolved over tens of thousands of years. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs helps to explain how these needs motivate us all. Maslow's Theory states that we must satisfy each need in turn, starting with the very basic, which deals with the most obvious needs for survival itself. Only when the lower order needs of physical and emotional well-being are satisfied are we concerned with the higher order needs of influence and personal development.

• S.M.A.R.T.S. & S.W.O.T.S.
S.M.A.R.T. GoalsSpecific: Clearly define your target or end result. Avoid being vague and instead think about the who, what, where, when, why and how of your goal.
Measurable: Think about the numbers associated with your goal. How will you measure success?
Action-oriented: Develop a plan of action in order to achieve your goal. Make it as specific as possible.
Realistic: Make sure your goal is possible and reachable. You can always make additional goals once you’ve reached your initial result.
Time-bound: Set a deadline to motivate yourself towards change.
S.M.A.R.T. goals can help you on your path to success—and so can HARD goals.
H.A.R.D. GoalsHeartfelt: Develop deep-seated and heartfelt attachments to your goals on levels that are intrinsic, personal and extrinsic. Use these connections to naturally increase the motivational power you put behind making your goals happen.
Animated: Create goals that are so vividly alive in your mind that to not reach them would leave you wanting. Use visualization and imagery techniques to sear your goal firmly into your brain including perspective, size, color, shape, distinct parts, setting, background, lighting, emotions and movement.
Required: Give procrastination (which kills far too many goals) the boot. Convince yourself and others of the absolute necessity of your goals and make the future payoffs of your goals appear far more satisfying than what you can get today. This will make your HARD Goals look a whole lot more attractive and ramp up your urgency to get going on them right now.
Difficult: Construct goals that are optimally challenging to tap into your own personal sweet spot of difficulty. Access past experiences to use them toposition you for extraordinary performance. Identify your goal setting comfort zone and push past it in order to attain the stellar results you want.
