Want your team to close with confidence? Teach them to sell outcomes, not specs. Use this quick script from Outdoor Gear Coach’s training: Customer: “Is it warm enough?” Staff: “This jacket traps heat close to the body (warmth) while still letting sweat escape (breathable), so you stay comfortable on long hikes — and it packs down small for easy storage.” Short, believable, outcome-focused, and backed by our practical retail experience. Try it on the shop floor today and watch shopper trust — and conversions — rise! https://wix.to/1NP0JWP
