Retail Motivational Speaker Topic: You Can Compete!
How to outperform the competition by hiring the right team, attracting and keeping more customers, and making bigger sales
Retail sales isn’t that hard to perfect… it comes down to having the right people and right product for your customers. When you drop one of those, you end up settling. And if the past year has taught us anything, it’s that you just can’t settle anymore if you want to get ahead of the competition and stay there.
In this presentation, retail motivational speaker Bob Phibbs reveals how to build the right team, hold on to existing clientele and capture new customers to ultimately make bigger sales and earn the profits you seek.
You can watch a quick clip here.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recapture the money you’ve been leaving on the counter for your competitors to snatch up.
- Increase your sales 20, 40, even 60% within six months.
- Attract better employees rather than settle for the discarded dregs of discounters.
- Move the merch that’s gathering dust and costing you interest.
- Recognize and engage the largest group of potential customers you’ve been ignoring.
- Convert customers who are “Just looking” into customers who make a purchase.
- Grow your loyal customer base without losing those who already love you.
- Save money on advertising by attracting more business through word of mouth.
- Find, train, and manage employees you look forward to working with each day and avoid and remove those energy vampire employees sucking the life out of your business.
- Gain the leverage you need to make small changes that produce big results.
- Grow your business in a cutthroat environment and uncertain economy.
- And much more…

“People were raving about your presentation! Everyone said this was the best event they ever attended of any manufacturer!” – Dean Shulman, President, Brother International
“If you want to witness something amazing and totally different you ought to catch Bob Phibbs, the Retail Doctor’s seminar on “You Can Compete.” This seminar is highly motivating and thought provoking for a retailer who finds himself in a slump! Bob offers a variety of tools that are both adaptable and enforceable to any industry.
My customers and theirs could not get enough of this energetic seminar filled with tons of exercises that truly get you to thinking about your business, while also keeping the passion. Typically in an industry such as ours (picture framing glass), it was assumed that there was not much more you could do to get your customers excited about glass, but with Bob’s tips on thinking outside of the box and five steps to selling; there has been a shift in paradigm. If I hadn’t been there to witness it myself, I wouldn’t believe it”. – Anissa Burrell-Butler, Sales Program Manager, Tru Vue,
“The audience instantly recognized you as an expert—someone who has experienced what he’s talking about. Retailers can be a tough audience, if they don’t recognize you as one of their own. In fact, the audience was talking about your presentation during breaks throughout the day’s proceedings—even the subsequent presenters worked points from your presentation into theirs! Your presentation was engaging and informative. It presented step-by-step take-aways that retailers could use to improve their businesses and profitability, as well as their relationships with customers. You made my event a success. Highly recommended!” – Kerry Moyer, Senior Director,Consumer Electronics Association
“Bob is a one-of-kind presenter who understands the challenges retailers are facing, has the expertise to offer real time solutions and the attention- grabbing wow factor to make it interesting for them to tune in and stay tuned in. My members are still talking about the presentation but more importantly talking about implementing what they learned and heard that day. Not only have they overcome the fear of something new, they are seeing results.
Your presentation set off a storm of activity at the member level. They came away from your session with the confidence and the motivation to try something new. That’s the best result any association can hope for when they hire a speaker. Thank you for the awesome presentation”. – Kathleen McHugh, President, American Specialty Toy Retailing Association
