Hey I’m Pat Perdue and I want to introduce you to my latest podcast.  This one is a co-production between my company, YCASTR, and Seneca College, in Toronto. 

Seneca College is a really great school.  I know, because over the past couple of years I’ve been teaching some marketing and customer service courses there.  People come to study at Seneca from all over the world which makes it a hotbed of innovative thinking.  And a big part of that thinking is driven by our amazing faculty, many of whom are, well, like me, professionals who are thriving in their own businesses, and teach at Seneca as a way to share their passion for what they do.  Needless to say I’ve been hugely inspired by the people I’ve met.

 And what happens when I get inspired?  Well, apparently I launch a podcast.  So, here we are!  Welcome to #SenecaProud!  Where I get to introduce YOU to some of Seneca College’s amazing faculty. 

So subscribe, download, and join me, as we meet some of the super inspiring folks who teach here at Seneca College, in Toronto.      

I’m Pat Perdue, and I’m glad you’re here today.

The Future of Retail: Bringing the in-store experience into your home. Guest Oscar Sachs, CEO and Co-Founder of Salesfloor

SHOW NOTES

Traditional retail has been on a slow, but steady decline for probably the last decade.  So much so that retailers were getting super creative to find a way to bring you into the store.  In-store mini concerts, dining options like great coffee shops or pop-up kitchens, were becoming a trend in some of the higher-end stores.  And then – you guessed it – COVID-19 hit and the way we used to shop is pretty much history.So, since you probably can’t go to that favourite store of yours, or maybe these days you’re less inclined to, what if there was a way to somehow bring that in-store magic to you, in the comfort of your home?Today’s guest, Oscar Sachs, is the CEO and co-founder of Salesfloor.  Salesfloor empowers store associates to provide the personalized service customers love by connecting store associates to shoppers both in-store, and online.  Think Facetiming with your favourite sales associate right there in the store.  Salesfloor has over 45,000 associates from leading retailers in apparel, beauty, jewelry and baby items and toys.   Salesfloor is redefining the role of store associates in N. America, and globally.  And with retail trending how it’s been trending, simply put, they’re the future of retail. About Our Guest
