The Local Enterprise Office, Cork City is offering a retail programme aimed at Cork city based independent retail owners. Commencing in April, the intensive training programme will cover the following areas:

  • Day 1: Developing Aggressive Sales Growth Strategies
  • Day 2: Strategic Retail Management
  • Day 3: Merchandising & Display Best Practice
  • Day 4: Buying and Negotiation, Loyalty and Customer Service

A one-to-one mentoring/training session will be available to participants who have completed the four workshops. As retail advisors to the TV programme “Feargal Quinn’s Retail Therapy”, James Burke operates in an environment where stores have to be assessed and recommendations made at very short notice. Using checklists and score cards, an in-store audit will be conducted personally by James Burke together with the store owner/manager over a two hour period during which the business will be reviewed. This training session is to facilitate customised training of each of the retailers in response to their own individual needs.
