Garden Centre Sales

Overview

A business cannot survive without great salespeople and garden centres are not excluded from this. Too often garden centres have concentrated only the plants – not how to sell those plants. If a garden centre is to survive today, then it needs great staff with the abilities, techniques, attitudes and approaches of professional salespeople. Just knowing about horticulture, although important, is not enough. A sales team or even a single salesperson can make a huge difference to the success of a business. Knowing how to open and close a sale and how to encourage add-on sales are fundamental to sales skills. This course covers that and a lot more.

This Garden Centre Sales course from Warnborough College is for:

• Garden centre sales assistants

• Garden centre owners

• Small operators

• Larger operators with accessible and flexible staff training needs
