Workshops to grow Retail & Wholesale Sales
Today, as the business is becoming more complex and nobody knows it all, it is paramount for retailers and brands to benefit from support and assistance to cover many business questions they have.
Who's Next Tradeshow has spotted this need from Retailers many years ago and launched the RETAIL EXPERT CLUB.
After a few years, it was obvious that 40 to 50% of the attendees and private meetings were requested by Brand owners.
The concept changed and was named FASHION SOLUTIONS.
Today any visitor, exhibitor, Brand or Retailer can attend interactive and business insightful workshops free of charge. In addition, they can also have an individual session with an Expert against a nominal fee (€50).
GFM Founder is one of the Brand and Retail Expert for the show.
Private Advice & Consultation
Designers appreciate the 2 options offered to them:
* Learning from the comfort of their office or home - Delivered through online courses
* Learning from a 1-2-1 session with an Expert or Mentor.
Set up your own individual and private appointment here.
Upon confirmation of your company, we will send you an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).
We will also send you a quick questionnaire to fully understand your business, questions and expectations.
We want this session to be as thought-provoking, business insightful and result oriented as possible.

The truth on the Millennials by Simon Sinek
Simon's interview is to be watched if you are working or need to work with Millennials very soon.
You will get tremendous insight into what makes them tick.
An eye-opener. You won't regret it.

* Unfocused
* Self Interested
* Lazy

All is good .... (so far should we add)
Over the last 4 weeks, we were discussing with 3 different prospects how was the business and the answer was simple:
