Ian Baldwin's TLC... Think Like Customers

A Sales Motivation and Retail Training Program

Designed to increase sales in home, garden, leisure and outdoor living industries by selling customer success.

Ian Baldwin is a veteran trainer and consultant with 30+ years in the retail garden, home and outdoor living industry.

TLC makes your register ring by inspiring sales associates to sell to others as they wish to be sold when they are customers.

Trainees learn to convert the Features and Benefits of their products into "Ka-Chings", or impulsive, emotional buying motives.

TLC increases the customer's Average Spend through the sales associates understanding the consumer's needs and aspirations.

TLC is a participative sales motivation program which enables sales associates to relate directly to their customers.

TLC is based on the proven fact that "People buy from people they like".

TLC is about listening to the customer and solving their problems or fulfilling their dreams.
