Hire the Best Candidates To Increase Holiday Customer Loyalty
Speaker: Brian Gilbert, Director of Business Development, SkillSurvey
Retailers can stand out from the holiday crowd by hiring candidates who will provide superior customer service — staffing a team that has confidence and a positive attitude will increase customer loyalty and grow revenue. Traditional hiring methods don’t often show how committed a candidate will be to providing superior service, but automated reference-checking does just that.
This webinar will show retailers how to:
• Identify candidates who will “wow” your customers and build brand loyalty;
• Avoid the nearly 15% of candidates whose references score them as potentially risky; and
• Capture behavioral feedback from 5 references in 2 days for each candidate.

The Future Of The Store
Speaker: Gaurav Pant, Research Director, EKN & Mark Colbert, Dir of Marketing For Customer Transaction Solutions, Epicor
Today’s connected, device-enabled consumers don’t think in terms of channels, they simply shop – in stores, online, on their mobile phones. Retailers on the other hand are organized and optimized for channel-efficiency. And although eCommerce sales increased 72% from 2008-2013, compared with 8.5% growth for retail stores, stores continue to be the centerpiece of brick and mortar retailers’ business and the primary driver of revenue.
In this webcast, Guarav Pant, Research Director for Edgell Knowledge Networks, will present recent, original research that explores the apparent disconnect between these consumer and retailer trends, and how retailers can close the gap to ensure their physical stores remain aligned with their shoppers’ changing expectations and needs. Topics covered will include the transforming the store as a differentiator, elevating the customer and brand experience, the adoption of digital initiatives in store, frameworks for assessing progress, and key recommendations.
