The contest is an incentive to motivate furniture sales people to embrace the attitude that successful people train year-round. Salespeople participating in the weekly contest will get in the habit of studying weekly to improve in the knowledge and skills they need to meet confidently every customers needs and to sell more furniture.
Mark Lacy, President of The Furniture Training Company said, “employees as diverse as teachers, real estate agents, auto mechanics, and burger flippers are all constantly trained and retrained to stay effective and up-to-date in their jobs. Unfortunately, many furniture retailers tell me that their, sales people have been trained and don’t need or want any more training. Furniture stores will continue to struggle if they aren’t able to help consumers purchase comfortable, functional, and satisfying living spaces. Sales people must make a commitment to continuous year-round sales training if they want to reach their full potential.”
