Transcript: GET CREATIVE REPLACEMENTS, LTD. " OUR BRAND " CLEAN HOUSE WHAT NOW? MONEY THE BEHAVIOR CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE SHOW ME THE 01 SPEED OF TRUST!!!!! Scope statement- The first and most crucial step of this proposal. This statement/conversation will be used to describe the project plan in detail and is used to get common agreement among the group. This statement will clearly define the projected outcome of the project and significantly decreases the chances of miscommunication thus leading to a more sustained result. CLEAN HOUSE 02 This is more than just cleaning, but rather more READING into the current story that we are telling about our brand. This walk through activity should also be a team effort so that each person knows what to look for going forward in regards to seeing the experience through the eyes of the customer. 1- Do a detailed walk of the store as a team- Recording all opportunities that are mentioned. 2- Manager leads round table discussion to prioritze task and to discuss why some have higher priority than the others. ( Biggest impacts etc ) ALL recordings are valid so use this opportunity to train the team to think as the customer. What is needed to make this successful? 3- Implement an agreed upon timeline of when these tasks will be completed and by whom and manager follows up daily. 4- Assign "mini store supervisor" sections for each TM to own and discuss what this looks like! The expectations, the impacts etc. They own the maint. only, not the merchandising. " Our Story " 03 The store is the first, real tangible impression of our brand. It is where consumers can actually SEE and TOUCH our products. It is where the art of the brand is really showcased by hardworking visual merchandising! The physical store needs to excite now more that ever and do the things that can NOT be done online but still holding hands with our Ecommerce business. The retail store acts as our silent salesperson! THE BRAND COMES TO LIFE WE NEED TO GET DELIBERATE AND WORK WITH THE SPACE WE HAVE! PIG in the Window strategy!

SOME THOUGHTS..... MAXIMIZE on the foot traffic we do have! The behavior 04 Exceptional shopping experiences begin with exceptional employee skills. The staff needs to know how to engage people from all walks of life in a genuine manner. That means getting out from behind the counter because they want to, not because you have to tell them. Those employees must be able to listen to why the customer walked through our doors today, identify their motivators to buy, and link all of your products in a way that encourages them to buy.

A 2010 National poll conducted by The Center For Professional Excellence at York College of PA indicated that APPEARANCE ranked 2nd, only to effective communication for professionalism and closing the sale. Business Attire Required! * First impressions are half of the sale * It defines how we represent our BRAND and tell our Story * Sends a clear message of professionalism * Elevates our Brand VALUE * Demonstrates our desire to be successful in our roles The customers are always our first priority- Tunnel vision with maintenance task should be eliminated on front line areas and those tasks trasferred to non business hours/location or in rotation so team members are always readily able to assist and read our customers.

Is the sidewalk clean and welcoming?All of these are things we should constantly be considering while we are here. ALL team members that visit the retail store or are using it as a walk through also need to be highly aware of our customers and the requirements we have in place for the
