Prepare to Sell™ — Fresh
Perishable Foods is an interactive online training series that
enables supermarket perishable department associates to increase sales
in their departments (and throughout the store) by providing knowledgeable
solutions for customers' meal needs. Associates test out new skills in
online simulated interactions before taking them to the sales floor. With
this training comes several significant results:
|

|
- More qualified associates who approach their jobs skillfully
and with confidence to better serve customers.
- Customers who enjoy enhanced in-store experiences that lead
to greater department, store, and brand loyalty, as well as bigger
sales.
The training series consists of three separate training courses
that may be ordered independently of each other. A Learning Management System
(LMS) program is also available.

|
- The customer service training module teaches employees
to engage customers and increase purchases. The training
applies to associates who work in the following departments:
- Deli
- Bakery
- Cheese
- Fresh meat
- Seafood
- Produce
|
- In the product category training modules, employees learn to converse easily
with customers about selected deli meats
and cheeses.
- A customizable learning management system
helps retailers assign training modules and track results, if you have a corporate
LMS or a LearnSomething portal.

ways to enhance shoppers' in-store experiences so they become repeat

loyalty. The course's skill-building lessons and interactive sales
floor simulations improve retention and show trainees how to:

- Shift customers' focus from individual items to the entire meal.
