Even though your retailers are open, social distancing remains essential, creating many challenges for brands who need to educate frontline employees about their products so they can properly sell them.
In the era of COVID-19, PK nights are going to be few and far between. ENDVR recently conducted a survey of stores and almost 50% of respondents said they will not be allowing clinics with outside reps this season, while the others will be allowing clinics at a significantly reduced frequency.
Given all this, how do you keep sales associates in-the-know so that they sell better in store?
