Product training, so absolutely crucial in specialist retail does not come without its friction points for both retailer and brand alike.
For the retailer, it can mean taking sales associates off the shop floor or off-site to participate. It can mean bringing staff in out of hours, when it is often not convenient for them or the business and increased overheads with staff paid to work outside normal business hours or expensed to travel.
For brands, it means huge expenditure on travel and salaries to provide often inconsistent messaging with infrequent engagement, limited reach, trickle down delivery, poor retention of knowledge and no measurable ROI.
Thankfully it doesn’t have to be that way. Myagi was established to solve all these pain points for both retailer and brand, while improving the service to the sales associate in order to drive sell-through and increase sales volumes dramatically.
Founded in Australia in 2013, Myagi is the only learning network that enables sales associates to train on all the products they sell through a single online app accessible 24 hours a day. Providing training directly to any online device and transforming these essential sales staff from Order Takers to Experience Makers.
