FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 25, 2011 -- LEESBURG, VA — April 25, 2011 — Retail Training Services (RTS), a retail consulting firm located in the DC Metro Area has announced the launch and immediate availability of a new, money saving, web-based retail training course that is directed at helping retailers ensure their retail sales representatives are able to effectively and efficiently serve, and sell, to their customers.

The new training course, “Basic Retail Selling Skills – The 7 Steps of Selling” is divided into seven 30-minute segments, each focusing on a different phase of the sales process. Like all Retail Training Services courseware, each training module includes skill building activities that use practical examples, downloadable job aids, complete testing and more. Additionally, the courseware is designed so that sales representatives can complete the retail sales training courseware in small segments allowing them to work the sales floor and to practice the techniques they are learning.

Retailers and sales representatives wishing to take advantage of this courseware can purchase it on the Retail Training Services website. Licensing programs are available for larger retailers and distributors who have an ongoing need for this or other RTS retail training programs.

“Between lost revenue, overtime, recruiting, and training costs, the average retailer’s P&L is impacted by almost $10,000 every time they lose an employee and have to hire a new one. Now, RTS is offering retailers a solution that allows them to train new team members to make a positive impact on the sales floor quickly.” said David Goodwin, CEO of Retail Training Services. “The combined training modules are available to retailers at over a 40% discount when purchased in this bundle. This new courseware helps us to fulfill our Company’s mission of providing the highest quality e-learning training that gives retailers a measurable ROI on their training expense.”
