Retail Rescue Seminars
Group training is about getting together all of those that would benefit from the subject chosen, (see lists below), at your location, at a venue near you or at a venue near us on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
Depending on your budget and the level of training needed, we have sessions that vary in length, anywhere from 90 minutes through to a full day. Many sessions can be conducted after hours or on weekends for your convenience.
Why not book multiple one day sessions and turn them into a conference?
Short Seminars
Short Seminars are popular with multiple store owners and Franchises but also with Shopping centres, who often get together a group of shop owners, store managers and/or their staff, because well trained tenants equates to better profits and in turn better returns for the centre itself, along with longevity in tenancy and increased demand for occupancy.
90 mins or 3 hrs
90 min sessions concentrate on the key aspects of each subject, whereas 3 hour sessions go into more detail and include workbooks. Seminars usually occur after hours, e.g. from 6 pm – 9 pm for the 3 hr version.
