About Hammitt

Hammitt is a luxury handbag and specialty retail company with multiple retail locations and virtual selling channels.

The Challenge

Hammitt encountered obstacles in maintaining consistent sales and customer experiences across its luxury retail locations and virtual teams. The absence of formal training for new hires led to inconsistent sales performance, which negatively impacted customer satisfaction and sales conversion rates. The company needed a scalable training solution to standardize selling behaviors and elevate the overall customer experience.

The Solution

Hammitt discovered SalesRX, a scalable training framework designed to break down selling into repeatable behaviors with a focus on authentic customer conversations. This solution was chosen over other options because of its ability to ensure onboarding consistency and improve sales effectiveness. Tony Drockton, Owner and Chief Cheerleader, noted, 'We thought employees just knew our story because they work for us... and because they had great products, they might sell themselves. We were wrong.' Implementing SalesRX allowed Hammitt to train its staff effectively, fostering a more confident and conversational sales approach. Drockton further emphasized, 'If you can get a couple of champions on board, then you can back away as a founder and let them be you.'

The Results

Post-implementation of SalesRX, Hammitt saw remarkable improvements. New hire training consistency reached 100%, ensuring every employee was well-versed in the company's values and sales techniques. Customer relationships strengthened, contributing to an increase in loyal weekly customers. The merchandising standards were also enhanced, with Drockton stating, 'Less is more - ensuring that everything is spacious, clean, and flawless in merchandising.'

Additionally, staff felt more at ease and engaged with customers more authentically. 'SalesRX really dives deep into building authentic relationships and makes it easier,' said Jenny, a Hammitt Sales Associate. Overall, Hammitt achieved a unified and consistent selling strategy across its luxury retail and virtual teams, significantly boosting their sales performance and customer satisfaction.
