Sales Are Harder Right Now.
Skill Is What Separates Teams That Struggle From Teams That Perform.
Traffic is lighter. Customers hesitate longer. Price pressure shows up earlier — and more often.
Across retail furniture and interior design showrooms, I see the same pattern: salespeople can still sell the product, but they hesitate in the conversations that actually protect margin and move deals forward.
I help sales managers and sales teams develop the skills, structure, and confidence they need to sell effectively — even in a tougher market.
If You’re Responsible for Sales Results, You’re in the Right Place.
This work is designed for:
- Sales Managers who are responsible for coaching performance, protecting margin, and leading teams — often without a clear system
- Sales Teams who need a repeatable sales process they can actually follow
- Retail Furniture Showrooms selling custom order, from stock, or both
- Interior Design Trade Showrooms managing business to business relationships and converting quotes to orders
- Interior Design Firms managing complex projects and long sales cycles
Selling and sales management are learned skills. With the right structure, people become more confident, more consistent, and more effective — without pressure or discounting.
