A one day ‘virtual’ workshop designed by negotiation expert and Grocer magazine columnist David Sables of Sentinel Management Consultants.
We know that commercial managers are often not as comfortable as they should be with how their retail buyer’s performances are measured.
Consequently, this can impact their ability to sell and negotiate effectively with their customers.
Sentinel’s Understanding Retail Finance™ one day workshop addresses this.
It has been designed to enable non-financially trained commercial managers to understand the financial dynamics of the buying and selling process, establishing a methodology for differentiating between tactical abuse and commercial reality and then embed a detailed focus on dexterity and confidence with financial terms and numbers.
The Workshop equips delegates to understand the financial measures and KPI’s your customers use, enabling you to deliver better commercially motivating arguments.
