However, they are not a negative element of a sales call. In fact, they’re positive. Here’s why; If handled properly, objections can help you to succeed. An objection is a signal that your customer is engaged. It’s simply a request for more information. This course teaches how to overcome roadblocks and barriers to handle the dreaded “NO.”
Merchandising, in its simplest form, is replenishing inventory on the sales floor that has sold down. This includes the primary shelf in the grocery aisle, as well as other various points of interruption throughout the store like displays, racks, and coolers. Merchandising is also about how we position our products in front of shoppers to optimize the opportunity to motivate purchase decisions. This course is aimed at introducing you to retail merchandising and arming you with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful.
