81% of customers will step inside a storeafter researching the product onlineBecause they might not make a purchase immediately but continue to browse online oron their mobile device, the Sales Associate becomes pivotal in addressing and capturingthe customer needs and behaviors.And yet, stores are under-investing in their sales associates and potentially damaging thequality of customer experience with long lines and poor service.In a world where Amazon and Facebook are mastering the art of customer data and personalization, retailers must step up if they want to successful reconnect with their customers.That’s where clienteling solutions come into play.BayBridgeDigital 2018

Clienteling apps can also provide considerablevalue besides Sales supportSince they already capture sales data, they can easily be leveraged for internal management. With the addition of a few functionalities around sales monitoring, best practicessharing, and event planning, clienteling apps become central to store operations.At the same time, they are a perfect fit for mobile-obsessed customers. According toSalesforce, 90% of customers use their smartphones to compare prices or research products while shopping in a store.Clienteling strategy must therefore work very closely with customer’s own mobile experience. Why not have the customer’s app send an alert to the Associate’s app when entering the store?

Clienteling apps can also provide considerablevalue besides Sales supportDespite the benefits of clienteling, and the number of available solutions in the market,few of us have experienced mobile assistance except in the likes of the Apple store orNordsroom. Why?Because unless retailers are “clienteling ready”, ie possess the right underlying technology platform, there is no point in introducing the solution. Readiness involves first andforemost the ability to collect valuable and omnichannel data and make it available andactionable in real time at the point of sale.In addition, retailers can’t rely on the same techniques as they always have and ignorethe impact and range of possibilities coming from digital transformation. Clienteling softwares must include new kinds of features.BayBridgeDigital 2018
