| Simple Strategies To Get Your Customers To Buy More - Bob Marsh | 26 Nov 2023 | 00:47:57 | |
Ever found yourself in the midst of a pushy sales conversation?
It's no fun being on the receiving end of it… so why do we think we need to BECOME the pushy salesperson to successfully land a sale?
I don't know about you, but it's a big no from me.
There's a reason sales have such a negative perception around them. Most salespeople?
They suck.
They're trying to push a sale, all without actually understanding the person they're talking to.
Their customer isn't a human - they're just another number, and another opportunity to make more $$.
Being good at sales DOESN'T mean being good at being pushy.
In fact…
… it's the total opposite.
In this week's episode of the Bringing Business to Retail podcast, my guest Bob Marsh takes the whole sales process off the table and reframes it: now, we're giving customers the ability to make decisions about what they ACTUALLY want… and when they can do that, they BUY MORE!
Your job is to help your customer make a decision. It's not to pull the wool over their eyes and trick them into spending money with you.
If you're sick of feeling 'salesy', you can't miss this. Enjoy this episode and leave the sticky sales agendas behind! | |||

| Customers Don't Care About Your Products - John Chan | 02 Nov 2023 | 00:38:29 | |
Your customers don't care about your products.
After all, why should they?
In a world full of countless product options, yours is just another one they scroll past.
Your job, as a retail or eCommerce store owner, isn't to find the best products.
It's to give your customers a reason to STOP the scroll, pay attention, and press 'buy now'.
On this episode of Bringing Business to Retail, I'm joined by powerhouse John Chan from Berge Farrell to talk about the secret weapon you have in capturing your customer's attention: packaging.
As the most overlooked and least utilised owned channel, packaging is the sales activator you've already got lying in your hands. It's your walking billboard, the first touchpoint your customers have that sells your overall product experience.
We're talking about how packaging is your silent salesman, what you can communicate through design, the shopper vs the consumer (and how you can meet their different needs and desires), strategic packaging for retailers, and how you can stand out in the crowd through thoughtful packaging tweaks.
Dive into this episode and hear John and I spill on how you can revamp your packaging to influence your customers' buying decisions - more yay, less nay! | |||

| Using Black Friday To Uncover What Customers Are Going To Buy | 19 Oct 2023 | 00:19:34 | |
If you don't have a game plan for the holiday shopping period, you're leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table - and there's NO chance for a do-over. With so much doom and gloom in the media about 'how terrible it is for retailers' right now, it'd make sense if you felt like your customers were more likely to keep their wallets in their pockets… … But spoiler alert that's not what the data is saying SPENDING IS UP! And customer wallets are indeed open. Our Retail Academy retailers are telling us about record-breaking months in their retail and eCommerce businesses in every single one of our weekly meetings. They're KILLING it across the board. I went digging into the data to find out HOW, and the numbers I found won't just surprise you, but they'll completely change how you approach the holiday shopping period.

| 4 Leadership Mistakes I Find Myself Repeating | 06 Oct 2023 | 00:38:02 | |
It's 7:59 am, and I'm just about to hop on to our daily team meeting. Our meetings are pretty light-hearted, we share a joke, walk through issues that have come up and review what's happened over the last 24 hours. When my coach told me I HAD to implement them, I did so begrudgingly. But, he was right. Daily team meetings have changed our business and really increased team engagement. But I got a little complacent... Because the meetings were going so well, I stopped looking at our daily CEO dashboard. Cue end of month, I grabbed the figures and I was a little shocked that half of them were missing. It was at this point, I could have gotten really annoyed and called the team to task. But the reality is, leadership is my job. And when the team don't perform, it's my responsibility. Learning to become a leader isn't like learning your times tables. It's a trial and error thing. There will be times when you slip. There will be things you suck at but still have to do. SO I wanted to share with you the 4 areas of leadership that I find myself tripping up over and over again, through the 15+ years I've been in a leadership role. To show you that even though I've been doing this for years, I still sometimes get it wrong. BUT, a great leader knows the signs and corrects the course as soon as possible. So the team stays on track. And they respect you for it. | |||

| Your Great Ideas Are Running Your Business Into The Ground | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:28:12 | |
Last week, I had the opportunity to talk with a fabulous retailer in New Zealand about her business.
She was doing well... She had significantly increased revenue since purchasing the business... She went on to tell me about how she listens to the podcast on her drive into the shop and excitedly tells her team about what she learned and all the things they need to implement.

| The Tough Decisions Mavis Had To Make, To Create $40k In Revenue - Mavis Huntley | 16 Jun 2023 | 00:51:25 | |
The simple fact is, I'm good (some may say, great) at making people money and scaling businesses. It's my Superpower. But, I can give you all the (proven) strategies in the world...

| In Control Or Controlling? Which Is Best? | 15 Dec 2022 | 00:36:31 | |
If I was to ask you if you were in control of your business, or controlling your business, what would you say? today's podcast isn't another strategy.
Over the past few weeks, I've been scrolling through my feeds and just like you, my competitors' ads have been popping up. Now these days, I tend to be more curious, than furious, when I see one of their ads, but I know there's definitely been times in the past, when, I've wondered how some businesses are able to rapidly grow their business, be all over social media, have ad campaigns that constantly flood your facebook feed AND look like they haven't lifted a finger in the process.
Today I pose the question - are they controlling their business or are they in control (and is there even a difference). | |||
