REDSEED COURSE LIBRARY

Retail training courses

Unlock the potential of your business with retail sales training that’s proven to deliver results!
Building a top-performing sales team starts with teaching key techniques which allow your team to greet, find out what customers are looking for, demonstrate a great solution, overcome objections, close and confirm the sale.
Our online retail sales training programmes and pathways have all the tools to teach your team how to increase revenue, improve conversion rates, and provide winning customer service.
All courses are video-based showing your trainee what good looks like in your stores. Trainees get to see the techniques clearly demonstrated step-by-step, so they can see how to use them on the shop floor with their customers.
Courses can be customised to your business for better engagement and outcomes.
