The retail environment is undergoing a seismic shift. Even major luxury retail executives are slashing their workforce and closing doors in response to new retail challenges. The retail industry is letting online shopping win by trying to fight tech with tech, rather than focusing on and fixing the in-person shopping experience that give brick-and-mortar stores real advantages.

This is the wrong approach. Since 1994, The Retail Doctor has been transforming the shopping experience for larger retailers and smaller independent retailers into thriving retail operations by giving them the tools to succeed in a challenging brick-and-mortar retail market.

Bob Phibbs is a 30+ year retail master with a proven track record to help you lift sales, turn your retail staff into real salespeople, and get more out of your store traffic with innovative retail marketing tactics.

Bob is a dynamo...He’s uniquely attuned to the needs of modern retail businesses in a hyper-competitive environment and brought a wealth of powerful strategies and ideas that the audience could act upon. A masterful presenter for galvanizing retailers and delivering take-home value

With SalesRX, you and your sales team can:

Stop settling for mediocre sales performance

Increase your average ticket price

Banish sales-killing habits on the floor

Learn to overcome objections

See your close rates soar

Create exceptional customer experiences

Take on showrooming (and win)

Master cross-generational and cross-personality selling

Avoid ineffective, money-wasting training programs

Sell more in-store

You know your material and the challenges that people will present when they do not want to make the change or do the work to retrain themselves and their staff. That is invaluable in countering the arguments and objections. My only regret is that we didn't do it sooner.
