Hey, Retail Warriors! Ready to Amp Up Your Product Knowledge?
“I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two.” It’s a popular phrase, but it could also be your mantra when it comes to bolstering product knowledge. Got the lingo? Check. Understand your product in a manner worthy of a Master’s degree? Okay, maybe not exactly, but you get the picture. Let’s dive in, shall we?
A World of Products Awaits!
In this delightful hamster wheel of retail, products will come and go faster than your significant other’s infatuation with the home gym you bought during a New Year’s Eve resolution spree. And, let’s face it, keeping on top of it all is no simple task. Yet, mastering the art of product knowledge can make the difference between a “meh” customer experience and an unforgettable one.
Unlocking the Power of Product Knowledge
Did you know that possessing comprehensive product knowledge is like owning a magical key that opens the vaults of customer satisfaction, loyalty, and yes, even those elusive upsells? It’s true!
The Awe-Inspiring Potency of Details
We all appreciate someone who can answer our questions accurately. Likewise, your customers expect you to be well-informed about the products you’re offering. Providing precise, up-to-date information is vital. We’re talking about more than just “This item is available in seven colors.” We’re saying “This product is available in red, turquoise, burnt orange…” You get the drift. Specifics matter!
Giving Products a Personality
Embed the story behind the product to create that personal connection. Was it designed in a startup garage? Is it crafted with eco-friendly materials? Spinning the narrative creates a connection beyond just the product’s features.
When the Lack of Product Knowledge Strikes!
Let’s take you on a little journey of what can go wrong when product knowledge lacks finesse. In the digital realm of a popular web store, we find ‘Sarah’, a potential customer. She’s interested in a line of organic cosmetics and engages in a live chat with ‘Jacob’, a customer service agent. She wants to know if the face cream she’s looking at is vegan and cruelty-free.
Jacob, having just recently been assigned to the cosmetics line, is not quite sure. He gives a vague, noncommittal answer that sends Sarah away dissatisfied. Not only has the company lost a sale, but Jacob’s lack of product knowledge has also potentially influenced Sarah’s perception of the brand negatively. Uh-oh…
Sqilz to the Rescue!

Endgame: Transforming Customer Experiences
