Top Takeaways:

Brands sometimes invest more in products and in how their retail stores look without focusing on the experience. No matter how nice the brick-and-mortar store is, if your employees are not trained to properly welcome and pay attention to your customers, they will leave and buy from your competitors, go or online, where it is faster and more accessible.
What’s happening on the inside is felt on the outside by the customers. Be mindful of the environment that your employees are going to work in. Empower them with the right tools and training to do their job well. If you fix the people side of your business first, you will create a better customer service experience.
Create awareness of what great customer service looks like in your company. Ensure that your employees align with how you want them to treat customers. Teach them to recognize when they are providing a good customer experience and continuously train them to be better and better.
Employees are looking for more than just a paycheck when taking on or staying at a job. They are putting employers to the task of providing a work environment that provides growth and satisfaction.
Training is not something you did. It’s something you do over and over again. Invest in your employees’ training and onboarding. Then, constantly reinforce it throughout the time that they are with you, whether in weekly meetings, daily huddles, or sharing customer feedback and make sure what they have learned translates into their day-to-day engagement with your customers.
Plus, learn how not to (in Bob’s words) piss off your employees. Tune in!

Quotes:

“Focus on the people, not the products. You will get higher conversion rates when employees are happy, stay longer, and know how to engage with customers in a way that builds trust.” “People that feel like they matter, buy. And the people that don’t, leave. This is true for both customers and employees.” “Nobody wants to do a bad job. Employers must figure out how to make employees happy and empower them with the right tools and training to do a great job.” “Be brilliant on the basics. Make sure your customers feel welcome and appreciated the moment they engage with your brand.”
