Real Retail TV Episodes:

Creating A Strong, Positive, & Consistent Brand

Ensuring your brand aligns with your store’s identity is more important than ever. Your brand is experienced across various touchpoints—your website, social media, print materials, packaging, and more. It’s the thread that weaves these experiences into a cohesive image, creating a positive and memorable experience for customers.

Firing Customers Without Burning Bridges

The customer isn’t always right. While I strongly advocate for a customer-focused approach, there are times when you may need to part ways with a customer. It’s important to recognize when a customer is causing significant emotional strain, making it necessary to end the relationship.

Inspiring High Performance From Your Team

The better your team’s selling skillset, the more revenue you’ll generate. And by leveraging sophisticated statistics, you can effectively drive high performance in your retail team. In this episode of Real Retail TV, I delve into four critical statistics you should focus on in your ongoing coaching.

The Top 3 Mistakes You’re Making With Your Team

The top three mistakes you’re making with your team revolve around training. . Properly equipping your employees for success not only boosts sales and customer satisfaction but also fosters confident, loyal team members.

Precision = Performance

When you’re training your team, it’s crucial to be precise and use language that focuses on specific behaviors. This eliminates any room for misinterpretation. Your idea of cleaning a window might not match your employee’s, so it’s essential to be clear and not just instruct them on what to do, but how to do it.

The Heartbeat Of Your Street

As an independent retailer, you have a major impact on your community, employees, and economy. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I’m sending you some love via Real Retail TV to remind you of just how important you are. Keep up the fantastic work! You are awesome!

Working In Your Business vs. On Your Business

This is a great piece of advice that I got from my friend, Chris Knight: “In the beginning of your business, the more you do, the more you make, but there comes a time in your business where the more you think, the more you make.” You can’t think and do at the same time. Investing time outside of your business to acquire new skills will boost your wisdom and empower you to make substantial, game-changing decisions for your retail store.

You’re Better Than Your Comfort Zone

It’s true! You are better than your comfort zone, and you owe it to yourself to expand it. As a store owner, you are already doing big things. To build the kind of business you deserve, you have to keep thinking of ways to grow.

Your Word Of The Year For 2024

This year, my guiding word is “choice.” I believe in the power of intentional decisions to shape our paths. Each day is an opportunity to make choices that lead to self-improvement and positive momentum. Embrace the idea that you always have the freedom to make a choice that can steer you toward a better you.

New Year, Fresh Habits – Break Free from Selling with Financial Tunnel Vision

It’s a new year, and it’s time to get a fresh start by breaking bad habits. One mistake I see retailers make repeatedly is selling with financial tunnel vision, or, as I like to call it, selling out of their own pocket. It’s important to recognize that everyone has a different price point they’re comfortable shopping at, and your perfect purchase is not necessarily your customer’s perfect purchase.

Approaching your marketing with intentionality leads to perpetual improvement.

The Retailer’s Time System For Productivity

When I owned Mackinaw Kite Company, I developed the Retailer’s Time System to increase my productivity. I was frustrated that the things that needed to get done weren’t getting done, and I realized it was because I wasn’t blocking out my time appropriately. With the Retailer’s Time System, I was able to become more present, have more fun in my business, and ultimately get more done without constant distractions.

6 Different Types Of Promotions & Events

A full promotions calendar keeps your customers engaged and excited to shop with you again and again! When done right, it can help you stand out, drive traffic, and boost sales! Many people make the mistake of associating promotions with discounts, but you don’t always have to offer discounts to have a successful promotion.

6 Reasons You Should Do More Promotions

The best retailers have a full calendar of exciting events and promotions. Promotions not only boost your sales by encouraging more transactions per customer, but also set you apart from the impersonal big box stores.

Boost Your Holiday Sales With Online Listings

Did you know that your store information is likely showing up on more than 60 websites and platforms? And if you’re not updating those listings, they are likely to show inaccurate store information like the wrong address, phone number, or website. Boosting your sales this holiday season could be as simple as making sure your listings are accurate and up to date.

If your goal is to progress to the next level, you’ll need to equip yourself with the essential tools and strategies required to get there. No matter what stage you’re in, self-development is key. You cannot grow as a business owner if you’re not growing as a person.

Do The Things The Big Brands Can’t Or Won’t Do

You have to be a skilled retailer and you have to commit to creating a great customer experience. It’s all about doing the things that the big box stores can’t or won’t do.

Is Employee Loyalty Dead?

Is employee loyalty dead? Absolutely not. But just like customer loyalty, employee loyalty must also be earned. You have to make your employees feel valued and included. The labor market is much more fluid than it used to be. The best retailers will take this as an opportunity to level up their recruiting skills and build a deep bench.

Is Customer Loyalty Dead?

If you automatically assume customer loyalty you are going to wind up disappointed. It’s not up to your customers to be loyal, it is up to you to earn their loyalty. There are many things you can do to engender customer loyalty. Proactively build the relationship by providing an exceptional in-store experience, implementing a great loyalty program, and having customer-friendly policies.

The Future Of Your Retail Business

If you want to build a business that serves your life, now is the time to write a vision that will get you there. What do you really want from your business? How can you spend less time in your business and more time enjoying your life? A vision statement can become the roadmap to get you to the future you desire.

Should independent retailers be passing along these fees to their customers? The short answer is no. It’s your #1 competitive advantage to be able to provide an incredible in-store experience.

A Main Street State Of Mind

Main Street isn’t a place, it’s a state of mind. Whether your store is in a quaint downtown, in a strip mall, or in the middle of nowhere, you can still be a “Main Street” merchant.

Quit Surviving, Start Thriving

Does your business make you feel overwhelmed? You deserve a business that gives you freedom! The key is team training. You can create a culture that allows you to get out of your store and gives you mind freedom, time freedom, physical freedom, and financial freedom.

Dramatically Decrease Employee Turnover

Is your team’s lackluster performance taking up too much space in your mind? The truth is that the end to your frustration with your employees depends on you. If you love your store and you want your employees to be loyal, then you owe it to them to build a training program that lays out the steps they need to be successful and take pride in their work.

Your #1 Competitive Advantage

Independent retailers have the ability to give their customers an experience that the big box stores can’t compete with.

The Future Of Retail Leadership

In this episode of Real Retail TV, I explore the future of retail leadership. There has been a huge shift in the last few years.

The Big Picture Of Retail Promotions

When you create a promotion, it’s important to think about the big picture. What is the purpose of the promotion? Is it to activate existing customers or get new customers? Are you working on building relationships and building your database? Or are you simply trying to generate cash and reduce inventory? When you start with your purpose in mind you will be much more effective and efficient.

You Don’t Have To Discount!

With the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s important to recognize that you do not have to have storewide discounts associated with your promotions. The best retailers have a robust calendar of promotions and events that don’t include markdowns.

Selling = Great Customer Service

One lesson you need to learn as a retailer is that selling isn’t sleazy. In fact, when done correctly, selling is just another form of great customer service. When you’re interacting with your customers, the end goal should always be to get them to the perfect purchase. Getting them to that purchase may even require adding on more items to ensure they leave with everything they need to feel satisfied. Becoming a great salesperson doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a skill that requires training and practice.

Your Value Is Not Determined By Your Business
