Furnitureland South has partnered with sales trainer John Pyke to create a 15-month training program to enhance the skills of its 140 sales/design consultants.

This new training program focuses specifically on the strengths of each consultant and how each person's unique skill-set can assist them to create an environment of service to Furnitureland South customers, rather than one of selling. Using profile assessments, key-note speaking presentations, one-on-one planning sessions and small group accelerated skills training, the goal is make Furnitureland South's sales team a dynamic, world-class, enthusiastic and successful force whose core purpose is the service of our valued customers.
 
"I am very excited about our partnership with John Pyke," said Ken Macdonald, director of sales for Furnitureland South, Jamestown, N.C. "John's expertise, sales philosophy, training experience and enthusiasm will be a valuable asset to our ongoing educational program. We are thrilled to have John as a part of our team for the next 15 months as we strive to create an environment of unsurpassed excellence in the home furnishings retail market place."
