Certified Female Friendly® Training Training employees in communicating more effectively with women is the cornerstone of how to increase ROI, or better yet, ROW (Return on Women). It's the beginning of the culture change that will improve overall customer service which creates increased retention and referrals. Women are relational buyers and men are transactional buyers. Where the rubber really meets the road with women is what happens when she calls or visits your retail locations and interacts with employees. Businesses place most of their attention on the purchase phase of ownership, overlooking the more critical stages which, not coincidentally, is where women have the most influence, like kick-off (deciding to buy), research (making the short list), ownership (customer service and problem resolution) and Word Of Mouth. With the AskPatty.com Certified Female Friendly® training employees will learn the differences between how men and women communicate and make decisions. They will learn how to speak her language and build a lasting relationship with her. We’ll provide trainees with the techniques for attracting new customers, retaining and growing the relationship with your current customers and building a better experience for all your female customers. Training will focus on how women use the Internet for shopping, researching and connecting. Everyone will learn women’s online preferences and how to create a better online experience for her. Training includes a focus on websites, advertising and marketing, email campaigns and social media.
