Start with questions your team faces and your reviewed answers. Let employees practice explaining, listening and finding the next step.
- “Do you have this gluten-free?”
- “Why didn’t I get the discount at checkout?”
- “When will you get it back in?”
- “Can I return this without a receipt?”
- “What’s the difference between your two own brands?”
Start with your needs.
Practice, assess or understand?
Training results show how the exercises went. Use Assessments to test against your requirements, and Studies to explore customers’ and employees’ own perspectives.
Practice the conversations
Practice guiding customers, suggesting alternatives, handling complaints and closing on a good note.
Coaching and Roleplay give people space to practice. Follow participation and exercise results in Insights.
Example: A regular customer questions the price at checkout in the middle of the rush.
Explore Roleplay →Assess against your requirements
Assess knowledge of the assortment, promotions and processes, and the ability to help customers when the pace is high.
Use an Assessment Journey when passing status matters. You set the criteria; every required activity must be passed.
Example: Does the employee know the terms of the promotions running right now?
Explore Assessments →Explore people’s experiences
Capture recurring questions, situations where customers can't find what they're looking for, and the causes behind complaints.
Studies gathers perspectives through interviews and has its own report. You can start here without previous training data.
Example: Where in the store do customers lose patience – and why?
Explore Studies →Start where it matters to you.
