It's always a great time talking to @CrystalMediaCo!

It's true, in order to find great employees for your retail store, you have to treat your Red Hot Help Wanted Ad like you would any other marketing piece.

Part 4! The next time your team member isn't doing what you want them to do, ask yourself this: Do they know what to do? Do they know how to do it? Are they comfortable doing it? Do they have the tools to do it? #managementtips #retailmanagement

[Bob Negen @BobNegen]

Part 3️⃣ of 4️⃣ on why your team isn't doing what you want them to do.

👉Reason #3: They Are More Comfortable Not Doing It. This often comes up when it's time for your employees to hit the sales floor or ask a customer if they want to join your loyalty program at the end of a transaction.

If you are not consistently working on sales training, your team will have the tendency to go back to their comfort zone. Having a plan in place with regularly scheduled meetings can help!

One of the five video lessons you'll receive with the Master Plan Advantage is about how to manage your company with meetings and set a consistent rhythm for coming together as a team to set objectives, check in on progress, or ask for help. Meetings can work magic if you use them correctly! Save $500 on the Master Plan Advantage now through Friday, August 18th. Learn more here: https://t.co/QC0F9CaD2a

Part 2️⃣ of 4️⃣ on why your team isn't doing what you want them to do. 👉

Reason #2: They Don't Know How To Do It - You may have made the mistake of giving your team member vague instructions like "water the plants" or "wash the windows." But did you clearly explain how your expectations for how that task should be carried out?

One thing that can help is defining your superpower team! The Master Plan Advantage can get everyone on your team doing their best work. When everyone is working in their strengths it will be easier to get things done the right way every time! Save $500 now through Friday, August 18th. Learn more here: https://t.co/QC0F9CaD2a

Reminder to #independentretailers on #PrimeDay: You can’t out Amazon, Amazon. But Amazon can’t out you, YOU!

Independently owned retailers stand out by doing the things the online giants can’t or won’t do. They’ll never have the same impact on your community that you do.
