43| Community Space in Retail. What makes it work?

Saison 1 · Épisode 43

dimanche 6 septembre 2026 • Durée 23:29

We went to M&S at the weekend for a brew before the shopping, and the café had gone! The assistant told us it wasn't coming back, and that cafés in a lot of the smaller stores were closing. I assumed it was about money. When I looked into it, it turned out that's only half the story.

This week I look at what UK retailers are actually doing with shop floor space, and how you work out whether it earns its place.

Why Sainsbury's closed 61 cafés and now has over 150 run by partners, including 50 Costa sites
What Morrisons learned by taking out its meat and fish counters and then putting them back
Why Gymshark gives up Regent Street floor space to free workout classes
Five questions to ask about any part of your shop floor before you change it

Thanks for Listening!

42| How to Improve Stakeholder Engagement in Retail Projects

Saison 1 · Épisode 42

dimanche 30 août 2026 • Durée 18:57

Stakeholder engagement in retail projects is difficult, and it's usually the part of the work with the least planning. Milestones and deliverables go on the project plan. But keeping people up to date as the work develops usually doesn't.

So the project keeps moving, and everyone else's understanding of it doesn't. The gap widens the longer the project runs, and it only becomes visible when you need something like approval, funding, or people to change how they work.

That's when the questions start.

In this episode:

Why late challenge is usually missing context, not resistance
What the curse of knowledge does to the person who knows the project best
Why sending more updates doesn't fix it
Five questions that work better than a stakeholder list

Thanks for Listening!

Did anything resonate with you from today's conversation? I'd love to know, particularly if you've sat in a sign-off meeting and realised people hadn't kept up with the project.

41| Currys Retail Technology Case Study. What UK Retailers Can Learn.

Saison 1 · Épisode 41

dimanche 23 août 2026 • Durée 25:48

Currys is often described as one of the UK retailers leading on AI and retail technology. But a more useful story is the technology working behind the scenes: helping store managers act on data, giving repair engineers better information, and supporting colleagues in removing friction from the customer journey.

In this episode, I look at Currys as a retail technology case study and ask a more practical question: when does technology actually improve the customer experience?

What this episode covers:

How Quorso helps store managers turn data into weekly actions
What Currys' display-gap research reveals about customer assumptions and lost sales
How video, repair data and connected service channels can support better customer outcomes
A five-question framework for evaluating retail technology investment

Listen if you are thinking about:

how to connect technology investment to customer experience
how to make data more useful for store and service teams
how to avoid starting with the tool before understanding the friction

40| Empowering Frontline Teams to Show Empathy in Retail

Saison 1 · Épisode 40

dimanche 16 août 2026 • Durée 25:26

Most retail and contact centre employees can tell when a customer needs more time, more patience or a different response. The more common problem is that they don't have the authority, time, or emotional capacity to act on it. This episode looks at what empowering frontline teams actually requires, and why average handling time, rigid scripts and centralised decision-making often work against the empathy already present in a team.

What this episode covers:

Why average handling time is treated as an outdated measure but is still used to assess individual employees
How Waterstones changed decision-making authority for its booksellers, and what happened to returns
The research on surface acting, emotional labour and burnout in customer-facing roles
Why fast checkout design, like Aldi's, is a legitimate response to what some customers want

Thanks for Listening!

Did anything resonate with you from today's conversation? I'd love to know where you see empathy getting squeezed out of the customer experience; is it by time, targets, policy, or something else?

39| The Click and Collect Customer Experience: What Retailers Get Wrong

Saison 1 · Épisode 39

dimanche 9 août 2026 • Durée 31:26

In this episode, I'm joined by Jacob Hinson, founder of eLocker, to explore why click and collect is still one of the most overlooked moments in the retail customer journey.

eLocker provides smart locker technology for retail click and collect, returns, warehouses and workplace environments. Its technology is designed to make collections faster, clearer and easier to manage, helping retailers reduce manual processes, improve customer experience and lower the cost of collections and returns.

Together, we discuss why the online part of click and collect often works well, but the collection itself can still let the experience down. For customers, the journey does not end when the order is placed. If anything, the collection experience is where it should feel the most convenient, reliable and joined-up.

What this episode covers:

Why customers judge the whole order by the collection experience, not just the checkout
Why click and collect often falls between digital, operations and CX teams
How better-designed collection points can improve satisfaction, repeat visits and cost per order
Why perceived wait time can be just as important as actual wait time
Practical first steps for retailers who want to improve collection before investing in new technology

38| How To Get Back To Simple: Reducing Customer Effort in Retail

Saison 1 · Épisode 38

dimanche 2 août 2026 • Durée 14:31

Most of the complexity in retail today ends up as work for the customer. It could be another app to download, another password to remember, another near-identical product to choose between. This episode is about reducing customer effort in retail; how the complexity builds up, why removing it rarely occurs to anyone, and what it takes to make buying feel simple again.

What this episode covers:

Why complexity accumulates one reasonable decision at a time, and why nobody removes it
The research showing people almost always add to solve a problem, and rarely think to subtract
What Asda's range cuts and Topps Tiles' brand consolidation reveal about taking work off the customer
The one question worth asking before launching anything: what does this ask the customer to do?

Thanks for Listening!

37| Store Value Beyond Sales: What UK Retailers Are Missing

Saison 1 · Épisode 31

dimanche 26 juillet 2026 • Durée 21:31

Most store performance reviews start and end with sales and costs. But a store's value goes well beyond that. From the online orders it fulfils to the supplier relationships it nurtures. In this episode, I look at everything else a store actually does that never gets counted, and what changes when you start looking at it.

In this one:

Why store reviews default to sales, and what a 2019 accounting change had to do with it
Four measurable sources of store value, from click-and-collect upsell to retail media margins
The harder-to-measure roles like frontline insight, brand experience, resilience and more
A practical way to widen how you review a store, whatever your budget

Thanks for Listening!

Did anything resonate with you from today's conversation? I'd love to know. Is there a role your own stores play that never makes it into a performance review?

36| Staying Customer-Focused in Retail. Persistence Matters.

Saison 1 · Épisode 32

dimanche 19 juillet 2026 • Durée 17:36

Staying customer-focused in retail over months and years is harder than it sounds. Priorities shift, budgets reset, and a piece of work everyone agreed mattered can suddenly fall off the priority list. Persistence is the skill that keeps customer focus alive through all of that, but should it be?

This episode covers:

How most customer experience projects lose attention gradually
What the research says about persistence, and why it's needed right now
The specific, uneven cost of staying customer-focused, and who's really carrying it
What B&Q and Halfords show that organisations can reduce the weight of personal persistence by making more of the business customer-focused in the first place

35| How AI Saves Time For Retail CX Teams (And What To Do With It)

Saison 1 · Épisode 35

dimanche 12 juillet 2026 • Durée 13:35

How much of your working week is spent telling other people what customers said, rather than actually talking to one?

When you open your laptop on a completely ordinary Monday, you have four customer-related things open: a customer dashboard, a survey tool, a customer proposition deck you need to finish, and an email about a complaint.

Not one of those four things is an actual conversation with an actual customer. That's the starting point for this episode: where the hours in a CX role actually go, and where AI can actually help you get some of them back.

What this episode covers:

Why a "customer-focused" morning can involve zero real customer contact
Three concrete places AI can save time: feedback theming, report drafting, and system upkeep
Why the blocker to using AI well is often confidence, not access
What happens when the time you get back doesn't automatically go anywhere useful, and why that's on you to decide

Thanks for Listening!

Did anything resonate with you from today's conversation? I'd love to know, particularly if you've found a place in your own week where AI's already quietly taken something off your plate, or where you're still doing it all by hand.

34| From Listening to Watching: How Retail Customer Insight Has Evolved

Saison 1 · Épisode 34

dimanche 5 juillet 2026 • Durée 19:37

Most retail organisations run a Voice of the Customer (VOC) programme, which involves collecting customer feedback through surveys, reviews, complaints, or interviews.

Many also track operational and process data. Things like delivery times, stock availability, returns, and customer service performance.

Some also listen to staff through employee feedback, such as what frontline colleagues see and deal with every day.

But there's another type of insight that is now readily available: behavioural data. This is simply data about what customers actually do, not what they say. For example: what they click on, what they search for, what they abandon in their basket, what they buy, and how often they come back.

In many retail businesses, this kind of data sits with the digital or marketing team, and is mostly used to improve campaigns or user experience. It doesn't always make it into broader customer insight work.

In this episode, we look at how customer insight has moved from mainly asking people questions to also watching patterns in real behaviour. We explore what you can see when you combine the two and what it takes to get teams to look at the same evidence, rather than working separately.

What this episode covers:

What the VOC, VOE, VOP framework asks, and what it can't see
The behavioural footprint: what customers leave behind, and why it's now accessible to mid-market retailers
The gap between executive confidence and customer reality and how behavioural data makes it visible
Why Aldi's model complicates the insight engine argument and what that tells us

Thanks for Listening!

Did anything resonate with you from today's conversation? I'd love to know whether customer listening and watching are brought into the same conversation in your organisation, or whether they're still managed separately.
