How to deliver training when you can’t do it in person.
Even though businesses are beginning their gradual reopening post-COVID, social distancing remains essential, creating many challenges for retailers who need to train and interact with their staff.
Unfortunately, PK nights are over. Gone are the days of reps bringing pizza, beer, and swag into a shop and cramming twenty sales associates into a room for a clinic. They are too expensive, time-consuming, and in this environment too stressful for both brands reps and the retail employees they’re looking to educate.
Given all this, how do you keep sales associates engaged and in-the-know so that they sell better in store?
ENDVR Solves This Problem
ENDVR is an easy-to-use app where brands and retailers can reward sales associates with cash, product and prizes for completing training or participating in digital sales contests that help drive sales on the store floor.
While ENDVR is a great tool that offers a particularly timely solution for our immediate post-COVID challenges, this incentivized platform has always offered huge benefits to brands, retailers and sales associates —
For Brands:
-
It lets brands offer cash rewards to sales associates who learn about the products and new brand initiatives.
-
It streamlines the process for sales contests, making it way easier for marketing teams to track progress and tally results.
-
It creates a clear and on-going line of communication between the brand and the frontline.
For Retailers:
-
It makes it easier to ensure that you have a well-informed, well-trained team throughout each and every season.
-
It allows the brands you represent to send training missions, sales contests, and social media initiatives, directly.
-
It gives your team the opportunity to earn rewards when they participate in sales contests and training, keeping them happy and incentivized to do their job well.
With ENDVR, retailers get a better trained and more engaged staff for free. It can all be done through each associates’ personal smartphone, which means no complicated distancing, no unnecessary contact, and it allows retailers to track engagement and performance.
Whether you are a brand or a retailer, your frontline sales associates will love ENDVR!
